    The MOVE ME public art project at the Cambridge Art Council is outstanding!! I enjoyed the exhibition of Tanzanian animal drawings by Roberta Paul and the interviews she and Beth Kantrowitz had with Cambridge residents in the CAC Gallery. Friday night's opening reception, follwed by the migration of 12 "wrapped" vehicles through Harvard Square was truly awesome. We need more art "events" like this to bring artists and the public together for fun, art and social enlightenment. Collapse

    The last time I saw Blue Man Group was probably about 20 years ago, when I lived in NYC. The current show in Boston has quite a bit of content from the old show, as well as some updated content (e.g., giant iPhones, called "Gi-Pads"). I took my sons, ages 7 and 10, and they loved it! The only thing that detracted from the experience was that our seats were in the balcony and had obstructed view of the stage because of the railings. Because so much of the show involves reading text that is displayed onstage, that was a bit aggravating. If you go, be sure to get seats downstairs. Collapse

    My wife and I took our 13 year old son to the show. Strange show but very very fun. All of us were laughing and very entertained throughout. Would highly recommend

    Great show for our 3 generations, ages 8 to 68. Very talented musicians and mimes, lots of activity and humor, good use of technology--plus the old standby, eating twinkies. What more could you ask for? Also, the grandsons (8 and 11) have photographs with members of Blue Man Group and memories of their favorite skits. Collapse

    Great little place to watch some fresh talent cheaply. Maybe not all of the comics are All-Stars, but for the price, it's definitely a great time. When I went I saw 5 different comics even though only 3 were publicized. Great value for the money. I'll be back. Collapse

    Blue Man Group is the best fun I've had in a long time. The group is different than a play. They're very funny. It's the type of place where you can shout out from the audience if you want or you can be quiet. Blue Man interacts with the audience. The finale is amazing. Don't miss the finale. Collapse
