I received show tickets for this review. I was not financially compensated for this post . My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.
If you are a Florida resident, or planning to visit Florida this summer vacation and you are looking for a one of a kind experience this summer I would love to let you know about my experience with the world-renowned and outrageously fun Blue Man Group show at Universal CityWalk that I was able to go to just a few days ago.
While spending some time in St. Augustine, Florida some of my family members and yours truly headed to Orlando for a super fun day in the city and had a blast at the Universal Orlando CityWalk.
The very first thing I want to mention is something I did not know myself…As you might know there are lots of things to do in Universal even for those that are not visiting the parks as there are a ton of different restaurants, shops and places to visit in CityWalk. What I did not know (even though it says so right on the parking entrance), is that parking goes down to just $5.00 after 6:00pm…Now one thing that is not shown on the sign is the fact that Florida residents DO NOT PAY for PARKING after 6:00, so all you need is a Florida ID in order to get the free parking (AFTER 6:00 PM).
But let’s go back to the show. I have been dying to see the show ever since I learned about the Blue man group, but never had the chance to go to the show, so I was really excited to be able to watch the show even though I was not quite certain as of what to expect.
The show began a little after 7:00pm and I must say that even before the show really started they found a way to engage the whole audience and they had people laughing and interacting even before the Blue men ever set a foot on stage!
This unique show combines music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to craft a very enjoyable party atmosphere that is a Blue Man Group trademark. The production has been custom-designed for Universal Orlando and includes elements of the group’s existing shows as well as newly created material exclusive to this production.
The show is filled with funny moments from beginning to end and I found myself following all the movements of the group with a smile on my face even in the times that the show got a little gross as there are some skits that involved them “playing with food” which has always been a big pet peeve of mine, regardless…I found myself smiling the whole time the show was on.
There are some really neat scenes and the group manages to keep the whole show interactive and engaging to the whole audience.
The music was great, but I was surprised to learn that the show is way more than just percussion and a bunch of blue guys playing instruments. They have found a way to ingeniously combine, music, lights, color, paint drumming, acting and technology including the use of giant iPads and creating a must see show that is appealing to a wide range of people as the audience was filled with people of all age and ethnicities and one all of them were having a blast at the show.
Needless to say I really enjoyed the show and found it remarkable how they kept the public wanting more of the show…The show lasted about an hour and a half and not for one minute did my eyes leave the stage.
If there was one thing I could change…it would probably be the fact that there were no cup holders on the seats and as you can imagine that is certainly not a deal breaker!
Show times vary, so you want to check their schedule to find the day/time that works best for you. The tickets start at $60 and there are diffent specials offered to meet your needs.
I would highly recommend the show and would go watch it a second time myself if the opportunity comes!

Back in 2010, my home was broken into while I was on vacation. A Pan & Tilt Day/Night Network Camera definately would have made my life so much easier and put me more at ease while away!
My daughter has always wanted to see the Blue Man group but we never had the extra cash. This is a Godsend.
I have never seen Blue Man Group, however, I know people who love it! I am coming to Orlando to visit and would love the chance to see them. I would take 3 of my friends that I am vacationing with.
I have never seen the Blue Man group before. It looks like such a fun show, who couldn’t use some good laughs and memories with friends? I would take my husband Duane and my friends Denise and Garry.
I have been wanting to see them for years. The show seems great at least going by the ads. It would be a great night out for the family. Thank you for the contest.
I saw The Blue Man Group on TV once. It only took a minute of watching them and then I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. They are very unique and are fun to watch. My family would see The Blue Man Group.
Hi! I live about an hour and half from Orlando and have been seeing the commercials on TV for this show for years now. I would love to see this show because it looks to be so fun & entertaining. I would take my son, daughter in-law, and grandson. Fun, fun, fun!! Thank-you!!
My Mom bought my husband and I tickets for the Orlando show a few years ago and we had a blast when we went. I upgraded us to the VIP package before the show, where we got to sit in the lounge and enjoy drinks and we each got a program. After the show, we went back to the lounge to meet a Blue Man, where we got pictures and an “autograph” (he kissed my program and he rubbed his head on my husband’s program). It was so much fun we keep saying we need to do it again and bring my brother and his fiancee. I would love to go and do the VIP package again.
Wow I didn’t know that Florida residents don’t pay parking after 6pm. We’ve been multiple times to City Walk and never knew this. Thank you for the tip. I’ve never been to Blue Man Group, although I have always wanted to go, I love their music when I see the commercials and I’ve heard wonderful reviews. I’d love to take my husband for an unforgettable date night.
I would love to win to see Blue Man Group again. They put on a great show. I would take my husband again because it would be a super fun date night. Thanks for a fun giveaway.
My husband and I were lucky enough to see the Blue Man Group a couple of years ago. We were late, and they made sure to embarrass us, but boy was it fun! Three kids later, and I know my oldest would love to go. It has been a tough year financially, and holidays were not as big as normal. This would be a fun family outing!
I know what you mean…They did the same to a few people that got there late and boy was that fun:)
We’ll be in Orlando around Christmastime. I’d love to go check them out!
I used to listed to blue man group as a child. I’ve heard nothing but awesome things about their shows! I’d love to take my husband to go see it..just the two of us!
Several years ago, my husband and I saw the traveling Blue Man Group show (before there was one at Universal). It was great! We’ve talked about going back, but we haven’t. I’d love to take my kids now, I know they would love it!
I would love to see the show with my husband and kids. My husband and I went to the show in Vegas and it was a blast! I live near Orlando and have wanted to check the show out. My daughter’s birthday is next month so this would be a great surprise for her!
I would love to see this show because I’ve always wanted to see them, but cannot afford to buy tickets to shows such as this. 🙂 I would take my husband, who is new to the USA, my grandfather, and my aunt. I think it would be such a fun time to spend with family.
Sounds like a blast. I love Blue Man Group!
This promises .to be a great addition to our next vacation
Sounds so awesome! I’ve been meaning to see the one in Chicago for years now, I think you motivated me to finally make it happen 🙂
I would love to go! I would take my husband and another couple.
I would go with hubby and another couple. We stay in Florida with a friend for a week and then go on a cruise. Would love to see these guys. Was in Vegas but the show was not available for us. Heard they put on quite the show!

I would love to win this tickets badly. I would go with my husband to see the Blue man group. We live in Kissimme and always wanted to go but never have a enough money for it with kids at home is hard. Hope I can win it would be awesome.
