🎭 Blue Man Group Specific Advice

This show utilizes the entire theater vertically. While center seats are traditional favorites, the side boxes (SEC B/E) actually provide better views of the famous ceiling drumming sequences. For first-timers, I recommend SEC D Row F ($95) to take in the full spectacle, while repeat visitors might prefer the $109 "Blue Man N" section for a different perspective.
