Rating: - Pure spectacle.
Blue Man Group defies easy classification. As anyone who has seen their unique stage show knows, this eccentric trio of stoic blue faces touches on a number of art forms, not the least of which is a commitment to pure spectacle.The show, which clocks in just shy of 90 minutes, spotlights the group's trademark inventiveness, audience interaction and quirky humor.The Video boasts stunning quality, with sharp lines and luminous colors. There are no noticeable defects such as edge enhancement or artifacts. All in all, it's an impressive display.You can choose between 2-channel Stereo or 5.1 Surround. The latter is superior, but both are of good quality. The audio is rich and clear, with no distortion or drop-out.
Blue Man Group partisans will love How to Be a Megastar Live! , a solid concert movie of one of the most innovative acts around. The uninitiated might be less astounded, but this Disc will still be of interest for people wondering what all the fuss is about.

Rating: - Great Concert, but needs Venus Hum Back
Everything was amazing about the Blue Man Group Concert except for one qualm that I had. I don't think that the female vocalist is half as good sounding as Venus Hum was in the original complex tour. The Blue Man Group should have brought her back as a guest vocalist for at least the recording of this concert. Other than that little complaint, the Blu-Ray is amazing.

Rating: - Lots of noise, saave your $$
I was really looking forward to this as I kinda enjoyed the original Blue-Man performance. I don't know if it's just that I'm getting tired of it, or if this really isn't as good, but I didn't care for it and I will soon be listing my Blu-Ray disk on ebay for resale. Someone might like it...

Rating: - Blue Man Group/ How to be a Mega Star
I am a 75 year old female, who is not very talented in music, but I am able to enjoy music. I used to think of this kind of music as very loud and disturbing, but after listening to this album, I was totally relaxed, and had enjoyed every note. I purchased the album. If you need to relax, play this album.

Blue Man Group: How to Be a Megastar Live! [Blu-ray]

A feast for the eye's and ears. Almost as good as going to the actual show without having to worry about getting wet or having a stick cam shoved in your mouth.

On the Blu Ray version, be sure to go into Setup from the main menu. There is an uncompressed 5.1 PCM audio option. It's only listed as English 5.1 on the cover.
