We took my 11 year old niece to see this today and just loved it. I wasn't sure what to expect and was a little apprehensive when they provide ponchos for those sitting in the closest rows. We were in the second row and were close enough to feel like we were on stage. What a talented, inventive group! Terrific,... More

We had front row seats and it was INCREDIBLE! We took our 6 year old son who loved the show, he was nervous at first but as soon as it got started, he was glued! It was so entertaining and the audience was involved through the whole show. It was well worth the ticket price and we were able to... More

Exciting and fun. The first 10 rows or so get wet.

Very disappointing Really expected to see the show. I was fully expecting to see the musical combination of performance tools instead received a dry appearance and perception of intestinal Photo marshmallow. The place itself is awful, uncomfortable to sit, not easy to see. In other words - there are other entertainment options, we can certainly give up.

This was my first off Broadway Show so I didn't know what to expect. At first I wasn't sure what was going on but it quickly caught my attention and blew me away. It was very artistic and funny. They even have audience participation (some was staged) but when they picked my 66 year old mother, we all had a... More

I teetered back and forth from Poor to Average for this review. This was my third time seeing BMG. First in Vegas about 10 years ago and then once when they were on tour in 08-09. My negative feelings towards this performance are based on a couple of factors. It seems like the current show is less about music and... More

One of the best experiences I've ever had. The audience interaction is so fun. We got front row seats and sang "happy birthday" to my husband and I got offered a marshmallow. The band is also incredible!

Perfect show to go to laugh and enjoy yourself. Great for the family. We sat in the front row (poncho seats). We escaped the paint splatters but not the "twinkie vomit." My 15-year-old niece thought it was hysterical. The BMG guys are talented, funny and great with ad lib. Really glad we added this to our activities in the New... More

When we went to the BMG performance someone two seats next to us was accidentally kicked in the head when one of the blue men was climing on the seat backs and attempting to climb the ladder to the second level. Not for neat freaks.
