Saturday 29 March
A jaunt into real tourist Florida and a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, not into the park itself but to the City Walk to see the BLUE MAN GROUP. Some of you will know how much we love the Blue Man Group and have borrowed or seen the DVD with us but for those of you who don't know who they are... we will try to explain! They are three guys (although there are actually over 60 Blue Men country-wide at various static locations and touring) dressed completely in black but with blue bald heads and blue hands. Their shows are a combination of mime, excellent percussion on household plumbing and audience participation involving lots and lots of paper streamers. Kind of difficult to explain but for anyone who gets the chance to see them.....it's a must.
As there is now a permanent venue for the Blue Men Group at Universal we knew that this was something we had to do during our time in Florida. Even though we had already seen them in Vegas, 5 years ago, we were definitely not disappointed with the show, especially with booking well in advance we managed to get front row seats. The guy next to Neil was picked for one particular spot of audience participation - one of those occasions where you want to shout pick me, pick me.....but maybe not! A brilliant, brilliant afternoon and evening including walking and dining at the City Walk, Universal. Blue Men Group never fail to excite the senses.
