This spring, my family and I went to see the Blue Man Group in downtown Manhattan. Our kids are ages 10, 8 and 4 and while I was pretty sure the older two would love it, I wasn't quite sure about the youngest.
My husband is a huge fan, and has seen Blue Man Group perform eight times. I've seen the show twice myself, but not recently, so we were both thrilled to share this show we both enjoy so much with our kids.
All three kids loved it, and it really was captivating, even for our four-year-old son, Ziggy. The show has some written word portions, but Ziggy was able to follow-along just fine even though he doesn't read since there is so much that is expressed through the performance. Also, perhaps worth noting, the "blue men" on stage don't talk at all. Like not at all.
I highly recommend the show for a great family outing, just be sure with younger kids they can sit for the duration of the performance, which is about an hour and forty-five minutes without an intermission, and that they know there will be some bright lights and loud noises during the show.
Here are my daughters after the show, thoroughly delighted to meet the Blue Man they had just seen perform on the stage. It was a very special day, and my kids still talk about how much they loved the show.
Go experience the amazing Blue Man Group yourself!
Blue Man Group performances are at The Astor Place Theatre, located at 434 Lafayette Street, New York, NY.

I haven't been yet, but plan to go this fall. I think my girls would think it's a lot of fun!
I have lived in NYC for over 22 years and I STILL haven't seen Blue Man Group. Would love to see this with my family!
My kids would lose their minds over this! Our 7yo saw them perform on tv once, and talked about it for weeks.
We are visiting NY in October...this would be a great addition to our itinerary.
