After 27 years of performing at Chicago's Briar Street Theatre, Chicago will say goodbye to the Blue Man Group.
Driving the news: This weekend is your last chance to see this quirky trio take the stage.
💭 Moyo's thought bubble: I've seen this show twice and would recommend it to anyone who has yet to see it. It's fun and interactive with a unique twist to storytelling through music and nonverbal communication.
If you go: Expect comedy, art and sudden noises. If you're lucky, you may get on stage.
