I saw a Blue Man show in Las Vegas a couple of years ago... Drumming and percussion was outstanding... Be a great experience to work with a show that good...

Saw Blue Man last month at Universal Studio's in Florida. Amazing percussion performances. That looks like it would be a fun performance even after the 200th night. You need to be young and unattached to go on a long show tour like that.

My ex-son-in-law tried out for BMG in NY and it was a cattle call. The day he went the waiting room was full of drummers trying out for the open spots. Not an easy gig to score, lots of competition for a very few open spots. He was bummed out after the audition after being so excited initially about the possibility.
