Great show all around, the closer the better

BANGOR The Cross Insurance Center's auditorium floor was packed. The first few rows of guests pulled on clear plastic ponchos to protect them from the spray (Yes, Blue Man Group shows have a 'splash zone').

Before the show kicked off, there were LED tickers that scrolled text discouraging cell phone use, such as texting, taking selfies or operating drones. The thread of humor was something that continued throughout the show.
