I recommend any of the Cirque du Soleil shows, The Beatles' LOVE I’ve seen twice
The Beatles LOVE | Cirque du Soleil | Official Trailer - YouTube

On the other hand there’s the Blue Man Group. First let me say I have not seen their show (I make it a practice not to attend any show that has a poncho area) but friends did - it’s drums, lights, audience participation theater and the Blue Men themselves don‘t speak-not one of their favorite shows and I, well, I won at the tables while they got wet.

I've seen Blue Man Group live three times now, and have absolutely loved each time. Granted, I'm sure it helps to be more familiar with their music, but they make it a LOT of fun. Don't let the poncho area scare you, you'll stay dry outside of those seats, promise!

Heh, one time they were in town, and the wife and I had just enough entertainment money to get some cheap seats in the corner balcony the night we found out they were around. Called up some friends, and they joined us. Went to will-call to pick up the tickets. At this point, I should mention that my last name happened to be the same as the name of the theater. I joked to the guy that this is the one place I don't have to spell it. When he gave me the tickets, I asked if there was any chance we could get an upgrade for the name (half-joking, of course). A minute later, he came back with 4 "lost ticket vouchers" - about a dozen rows back (outside the poncho area) dead center. Absolutely an amazing experience.

OK Brian, I'l like to hear your review, because the review I got was “blue guys beating on drums, lots of splashing paint, and an audience art project which involved one guy catching gumballs filled with paint in his mouth."
