The Blue Man Group with opening act Tracy Bonham took Assembly Hall by storm on Monday night, giving their audience a unique and interactive look into the creative nature of song. From violins and electric guitars to PVC pipes and drum pads, the Blue Men and their band walked the crowd step by step through the makings of a hit rock act.

Along for the ride were several thousand screaming fans, whose job it was to listen and enjoy, while still filling int he gaps in the song with arm thrusts and yells. From the evening’s slow and sultry start with Bonham to the rockin finale, the Blue Man Group’s visit to assembly hall was a colorful, entertaining perspective for every music fan inside the theatre.
