Of the climax of my visit in Chicago

I spent roughly 9 days in Chicago. Out of the 9 days, I visited various museums, walked a few parks, and toured the city quite a bit.

But, of all the things I have done, I would think visiting these people is the climax of my visit to Chicago.
These people?
Allow me to present to you:

Yup! The Blue Man Group. I think most of you probably know them through the Intel advertisement. When I first arrived in Chicago, I had no idea that they were staging shows there. But when I Wikipedia-ed Chicago, they actually introduced the Blue Man Group. And I thought what the heck, might as well check it out.

And so I did. When I found out that their ticket price was USD59, I was partially discouraged. It was rather pricey actually. But I thought it is not like everyday I get to see them, and so I decided to make the journey to the theatre.

And I am glad I did.

Cause when I showed them my student ID (they wanted some sort of identification for the credit card I was using) they told me that they actually have student's ticket!
And guess how much is the student's ticket?
USD29!
WHOA! Of course I told them I wanted that. And on top of that, since I was watching it alone, they actually had a single seat left that was in a pretty good position.
Super lucky right? I thought so too. Hiak hiak hiak =P

From Wikipedia:
Blue Man Group's theatrical acts incorporates rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper.

A pity that they didn't allow photography, or else I might be able to show some stuffs over here. But yeah, the Blue Man's show is exactly as described. Rock music, odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper.

A visual feast.

It was really a visual feast. I like how they used colors and lighting to stage the show. And then there were UV lights which was really really REALLY cool. The UV lights itself wasn't cool.
What was cool was the effects it had on glow in the dark paints (I think it is paint, can't be sure though) and white colored stuffs. Yup. That was why they were a lot of paper. Toilet paper to be exact.
I don't know how many rolls they used, but I know that it was A LOT. And you know how white paper/shirt will glow blue when hit by UV light? And it is really chio?
It is.
It is super chio. It felt a bit like disco. Though I have never been to a disco. But I think that's how disco looks like. =P

And for those who like percussions (me!), the whole show was a total blast!

Frankly speaking, I felt that even if I have to pay USD59 for it, I would have gladly pay for it. It would be worth every single penny. They definitely know how to interact with the crowd. I think there were quite a bit of the show that totally depends on how the audience reacted. And they acted accordingly. Which was really cool.

Creepy? Not at all. They are ridiculously hilarious.

For those who ever get a chance, I would strongly, and I mean it, STRONGLY, encourage you to watch it. Perhaps not by yourself. I think it would be more fun to watch it with a group of friends.

I know, I watched it by myself. And frankly speaking, I enjoyed every single seconds of the show.

I think I have never laughed so hard for so long, for quite some time already.

Perhaps that's why I enjoyed the show so much?
