It's an absolutely amazing spectacle! My 11 and 12 year old boys were smiling and laughing and in awe the entire time. Highly recommend!

Fun show

We went to the 2pm show, its was very entertaining and funny!! They pulled my son on stage, he was nervous. They 'married' him off to another audience member after a short funny courtship of a improv phone call, exchange of gifts (to include pink handcuffs) and a game of Twister. They interact with the audience member. So many visual effects (paint splatters) and the music they made with unusual items was uniquely artistic. The staff and security were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend! Tip: Don't be late, you might get a spotlight on you!! Also, all seats are great seats, because they come out to the audience...but your chances of getting pulled onstage greatly increases if you have seats near the aisle, ask my son, he even asked me after he got back from being 'married', did you have something to do with this...if only I could take the credit, Thank you Blueman Group for making this Chicago Trip a very memorable one!!

Can I use otc at home covid test to show negative result?

steven walsh | Jan 6, 2022
Adam Favre | Jan 6, 2022

How would you show results? Think they want a 3rd party tester / test site. That said, contact and asked might get you a more accurate response. I know they checked shot cards and test results thoroughly and sent those without packing - no refund. Good luck and hope you get it worked out.

Is proof of vaccination required? Are masks required at all times?

Charles Schein | Dec 7, 2021
Shawn Justice | Dec 7, 2021

Yes just a picture of your vaccinations or a photo copy. And yes you have to wear a mask the whole time. They will check ID to make sure it's your paper work. They will take a native test also I hope that helps. Just showed them a picture of my vaccinations in my phone. Hope this helps you

would a two year old child sit through the show???

Laura Emmole | Nov 3, 2018
mark paulauskas | Nov 3, 2018

It may not be a good idea The show is a lot of loud music and light and when they drop the ball's the crowd will go nuts. My 10year old girl got pushed which kinda upset me. Keep in mind they have a bar and people get drunk before the show. Hopefully it helped.

You have to speak with vendor you bought the tickets from. If they are no help the theatre at the ticket box itself may be able to switch the tickets. Do so asap they are not very friendly at the booth in person.

How would someone go about trying out to join blue man

DONNA STONE | Nov 3, 2017

Go to one of their show and talk to them after the performance. They were very available in Chicago.
