Default blue man group worth going?

http://www.hersheypa.com/events/giant_cent...il2.asp?ID=5464

they will be in Hershey next friday... I am a cheap ass about certain things... $100 per person (with taxes, etc..) seems a bit much for a 2-3 hour show..... that is normal for NYC, but not Hershey, PA.

I have wanted to see the show, but not sure I want to blow $400 (including parking and food) for 3 of us to see it....

yes, very much so. if you enjoy humor, drama, acting,fantastic instrumentals, I would highly recommend it. just dont sit in the front row like i did in vegas, too close to capture the whole stage.

actually the show is only about 80-90 minutes long, but worth it if you've never been.

Really depends on how open-minded you are about "art" and "performance art."

I dug it the first time, but haven't needed to go again since seeing the Luxor show.

save your money for STOMP. A much better use of various mundane things as music instruments. it's more funny and more entertaining.

<--seen both troupes several times
