Blue Man Group, Charlotte NC USA
Makeup Show
We'd purchased the tickets for this event early in 2020...
Then for some reason, it was cancelled at that time and no refund was ever issued...
Instead, they'd said it would be rescheduled for a later time...
Then nothing...
Then the company declared bankruptcy...
Then more nothing...
Then 6 days before this show was scheduled, we received two tickets in the mail...
Fortunately, we were home to check the mail...
Fortunately, we had an open spot on our calendar that day...
Fortunately, a lot of things...
Our seats were at the very back of the house on the bottom shelf...
I don't know where our original tickets were seated...
I could probably go back to compare but it don't matter...
I actually liked these seats because they were so far away, we were not technically amongst the crowd...
The audience was 95% maskless...
I don't play that shit...
Wore mine the whole time I was there...
My sweet wife did as well...
@natureanddesigntm ...
The 3 Blue Mens did too...
During some sections of the performance....
Whenever they were doing crowd interactions...
All the theater staff did too...
Good on them...
Photography was strictly prohibited...
On pain of excommunication...
I preferred to stay in...
Afterwards, during cleanup, I did snap a couple snaps...
There was a confetti gun...
We were so far away, it didn't reach us...
Just as well...
Don't want to get none of that shit on my clothes...
The show itself seemed rather subdued...
I wonder how it'd have been 2 years ago...
I wonder what'd it be like in Las Vegas, NV...
They've got a permanent stage setup there and I'd imagine it's more elaborate...
One never knows...
Cirque du Soleil owns the Blue Mens...
They're better too...
From what I've seen...
Several...
That talk, more later...
Follow along...
You'll see...
There was a falafel truck outside the venue...
Love falafels 🤗
Too crowded for my tastes...
