Blue Man Group!!!

Tripp has been wanting to see the Blue Man Group for years so we were so excited to hear that they would be in Houston this month. We bought tickets several months ago and were thrilled that the weekend was finally here. Before the show, we had dinner at our favorite Greek restaurant, Nikko Nikko. We had our favorites-gyro sandwich, spanakopita, and dolmathes. After dinner, we drove to the Theater District for the show.

Before leaving for dinner/show

As we walked from the parking garage to Jones Hall, we saw a crowd of people and heard what sounded like drums. Once we were close, we realized that there was a drumline made of teenagers performing in front of Jones Hall. We stood in the crowds and watched for a while. The group was called "Percussion One" and is made up of high school students from the Houston metroplex. They played on trash cans, grills, sticks, and other objects. They were really good and very energetic.

Then we made our way into the theater. As we waited for the show to begin, I was telling Tripp that I really did not know what to expect in the show. I quickly realized that I could have never guessed what the show was going to be like! It was the most unique blend of comedy, acting, audience participation, music, instruments, sounds, lighting, animation, technology. We did not stop laughing throughout the show and were contantly surprised to see what would happen next.

The end of the show was like nothing I had ever seen. I pulled out my phone to capture a few pictures of the closing of the show.
