Had a ton of fun. Small theatre but worth every visits.

Great whodunit murder mystery improv show with a twist at the end. Been there twice, highly recommend.

Hilarious and so much fun! The cast could not have done a better job keeping the audience interested and interacting with everyone. The jokes were fresh (as in current) and you could tell the cast had as much fun as we did. I would recommend this show to anyone, any age. I definitely plan on seeing it again.

I know some people loved it. I just couldnt get into it for the first hour. Seemed like high school level stuff. Acting was good, but the jokes and material were pretty lame. I understand the ending, but did not feel good about being right. Felt used instead.

Best show ever!!!!! Had so much fun watched Blue Man Group! The show was so energetic, interactive and funnnnnnnnnnn!!! Definitely recommended. Don’t forget to wait a little bit in the lobby after the show. There will be some surprise

Nice small theater. Great spot to see Blue Men! They are so audience interactive. Having them in a small theater makes it great. Easy to get to. It is on a side street but easily accessible even in crazy Boston traffic.

Very small on the inside so its a very intimate show where you get to feel very close to the artist/ performers. Blue man group was great. The playhouse catered to the fact I wore a heart monitor and that it could go off during the show. They even warned the blue men that if they saw the light of a cellphone from my seating area, not to play into it because its most likely my monitor. Very chill of them to do! You can walk outside and right back in so if you smile no issue there. Its really a nice place! Great bar, great bathrooms

What a fun show! The actors were amazing at engaging their audience and ad libbing from our participation. They clearly love their work and it shows! Id heard criticism before that they havent changed the show in years, but thats not true at all! The jokes were relevant, and the show is clearly never the same twice. Id go again for sure!

Had a nice little bar and theater. We seen the blue man group and it was better that I thought it would be. Im sure there is more to the building that I did not see but, from what I did it was nice. And friendly staff.

It was a great venue. Small enough to feel like an intimate show and it seems no matter where you sat, youd have a great view. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because it wasnt obvious if there was a place to purchase concessions to enjoy during the show. I knew we werent allowed to bring our own and I ended up getting SO incredibly thirsty! Overall the experience was great.

Charles Playhouse.*** 1st photo - Showing theatre is by a sharp corner curve where Warrenton St. continues on to Charles Street.*** 2nd photo - Looking out from Warrenton St. towards Stewart St. where the flags are directly across the street.Photos may help you find the place if this is your first time.

The show was EXCELLENT!! My and I has the best Mothers Day together. We were not front and center (my would have killed me if she were sprayed with a hose ), but our seats had a great view of the stage! One of the Blue Men walked out from the stage and stood beside us! Definitely a GREAT time. Highly recommended.

What a great play. This show was awesome. Definitely recommended. They have a bar as well. Reminds me of off Broadway plays in New York. This show has been running for years for a reason. Support your local theater ♡

I absentmindedly bought 3 Blue Man tickets for our group of 2 adults and 2 kids, and on show day not only did the house get me a fourth ticket in the same row, but ultimately was able to move us all to remain together in equally good seats. This staff is really wonderful, the venue is a perfect size and the Blue Man performance was raved about by our middle schoolers.

Absolutely LOVED Shear Madness. It was hilarious and topical, integrating pop culture references that were very relevant (like last week relevant). To say it is engaging is an understatement...they literally engage you in helping them solve the murder they are investigating. Its been running for 40 years for a reason!The theater has maybe 80-100 seats so its very intimate and you feel like youre a part of a community, enjoying the show and helping solve the murder.Whoever played Tony on the 11/14 production - WOW! I could watch you act for hours. Hilarious!

This theatre is the small and intimate alternative to the big stages like Symphony Hall or theatres on Broadway. Its a lot smaller than it seems from the diagrams. The theatre assigns seats at the start of the play, but I called the box office about a week in advance and they assured me a seat front and nearly center, despite it being a packed house on show day. Most of the seats come in pairs with a tiny table. The chairs themselves are very small and wooden. I found them to be somewhat uncomfortable, but not distracting (for reference, Im 63 230lb). My smaller friend didnt even notice. There are some larger tables near the sides and in the back.The refreshments were refreshingly affordable (for a theatre). I got a bottled water for $4 and a 12oz Sam Adams for $8.My only negatives are that the seats are cheap and that some seats are literally on the sides of the stage. Be careful to make sure you dont get seated at those. Other than those risks, it was a great night out!

I saw a Blueman Group performance here and it was very enjoyable. Prices were reasonable, and seating was comfortable for a medium sized venue. It was well worth a visit. Be aware, they only open the theater a set time before the performance so you may need to kill time elsewhere before hand.

I have now seen the show twice, ten years apart. It was just as good this time around. Its a unique show that is both funny and thought provoking.

Great evening! Great show! The music, the colours, the interaction with the audience. Loved it all.

Blue man group never disappoints! My 7 year old and 13 year old both loved it!

Went and saw the blue man group for my daughters birthday it was so awesome

We saw the BlueMen Group. They are great. But the theater is very small and the seats are not elevated. So if you dont sit in the 1st 2 rows and you are short, you will see heads only. Cant get those seats, then I would advise getting the cheapest seats because you can still hear but barely see.

Took our family to Blue Man Group on 12-27-18 for a Christmas gift. Purchased 9! tickets, roughly totaling $2100. You get what you pay for did not apply here. We enjoyed our time together, but no one was blown away by the performance. I saw the show three years ago and was impressed enough to think this was a good gift idea for our adult children, but was very disappointed. Also, two of my family members were asked to change seats in the show. They were told those seats were part of the show. Those seats were sold to me-at full price. This was not explained at any time. No apology was offered. I have lived in Boston for many years and in total support of the the theatre and its performers, but at the prices of tickets it should be a satisfying experience. I think it may be time to retire or give Blue Man Group a break for a while.

Absolutely a great show! I attended the show back in the early 80s as a teenager with my mom and went back in the last three years and seen it two more times with my kids and siblings. Everytime is a different show. I absolutely love it!

As a last minute decision we stopped in and were able to get great tickets. We split our party up in an effort to get the best seats possible but really any seat in the house would be good. The guys at the door were really nice. The woman in the ticket office was fabulous. I sat and waited for the rest of my party and heard her deal with many challenging requests and she was great and patient with everyone. Ive seen this show at least once a decade since it first came out. Its fun to see some of the original things like the crunching of the cereal but updates with new things like cell phones and communication. Its become a lot more family than it was in the 1990s! I guess the show always was but the messages on the boards at the beginning have tamed down a lot. My kids hung out after the show and one got a kiss on the forehead that left her with a blue lip print on her forehead and made her day.

Went to the show with my wife, and we had a great time. The show was hilarious, and the cast did a great job. I highly recommend seeing it here.

So cool!!!! We saw the Blue Man Group. There was not a bad seat in the house. It was chilly, but comfortable. There are nice bars and the staff are really friendly.

I absolutely adored this performance I found it to be quite funny and very enjoyable I would definitely recommend going to see it.

Saw the Blue Man Group for the first time, what a fun experience. The audience was a good mix of adults and children and it was clear that there were a lot of groupings on the day we went. Engaging, fun, Im generally feel good with some great humour thrown in. I would definitely recommend the show :-)

Saw the Blue Man Group, lots of fun to see it in a fairly small venue, close enough to see their facial expressions.

First night visiting Boston from Toronto and this show was at the top of our list. First off, we were able to get our tickets on Groupon which allowed us to save a few bucks on the ticket price! If you are a CAA member you can also save money on the tickets. Anyways, the show was mysteriously hiliraous (shout out to my brother in law for that line)! The show was funny, interactive and relevant. Current event jokes were peppered throughout the show, which was great. One part we really enjoyed was the improv portions when the actors were interacting with the audience. This show is certainly a must see!

Saw the blue man group here. Amazing experience for the whole family. Bar for the adults snacks for the kids comfortable seats. Just a awesome time would definitely recommend this to anyone !!

Saw the Blue Man Group Boston there and we really enjoyed the show. The theater is tired and the seats on the side have some site line limitations due to the low ceiling below the balcony. The sound system was quite good. Had a good time at the event.

Saw Shear Madness. It was an amazing show! Great show and great venue. Will be going back soon, and bringing my friends!

Excellent show! We thoroughly enjoyed this show and plan to go again soon!

What an absolutely stunning theatre. At intermission they had such an organized bathroom process. I know something not normally included in the review however they are to be commended for getting that many women through the bathroom. Line was quick moving thanks to the organized staff.

I saw the blue man group here! It was awesome!

I had been to see Blue Man Group once before more than 15 years ago, and always though tof how magical it was to see it at such a quaint venue.. fast forward many years and I thought it would be a great place to take my graduating Son... surprised him with tix, and, wow was it a night to remember.. great staff.. great bars... stiff drinks.. (get the doubles) and we even got our tickets (seats) upgraded to first row for free..the show was breathtaking, comedic, no taking, but how amazingto see something like youve NEVER seen before.. and very refreshing.. marshmallows, paint, Twinkies, audience participation.ohh and toilet paper!!.. STUNNING show... no wonder its been going on for over 20+ years... MUST see in such an EPIC venue...

Very entertaining show! My wife loved the interactivity of it. May go back again and bring friends!

Its a old but well maintained theatre, there are no bad seats in regards to watching the Blue Man group. The staff are very helpful and attend to your needs. I have nothing negative to say about the show or the theater itself.

Good for family fun time

Nice theater near Boston Commons. Saw the blue man group here, great show! The theater itself is small, maybe 100-200 people. Staff was friendly and made getting in very easy.

I would really recoonend this show to all families and friends. Great time

Tricky place to find! Warrenton St. is more like a large alley . Staff very friendly and accommodating! Theater small (550 seats). No bad views of stage. Family show!Best and easiest way to get there from the South Shore: S E. Exp way to exit 18 (Ma. ave exit)turn onto MA Ave, take first right onto Tremont St, (3/4 mile). Warrenton St on right. Very short narrow St.Easy to miss it! PS, Parking meters are FREE on Sundays!

Saw the Blue man group perform here. Avoid the diagonally back areas- there was a constant draft blowing at the back of our heads. Otherwise the theatre is well maintained and the seats were reasonably comfortable. Ticketing counter service was also friendly and professional.

I saw the Blue Man Group show here. This is a small venue, which helps you feel very connected to the stage action. I was at the second-to last orchestra row, which was outside of the wet zone but still allowed you to easily see facial expressions. The group walked out into the audience and went everywhere (on the main level).They have a nice area for relaxing by the bar and bathrooms.The show itself was very entertaining. I didnt know what to expect doing in other than some degree of messiness. Its part magic show, part variety show, part comedy, part musical review, all with a heavy dose of audience participation.

Saw the Blue Man Group here and it was an awesome show and venue. Easy location to find and had validated parking at a nearby garage.

Excellent theater that allows every seat to be a good seat, everyone should experience Blue Man Group at least once in their life, Ive been several times through school field trips and it never gets old, brought my husband who couldnt keep his mouth shut in surprise, great laughs, I will say the poncho seats are bomb, look for deals online for cheaper tickets, ours were discounted 35% for last minute purchase!

Went to see the Blue man group and did not like it. Many kids shoutings, especially groups. The show was OK but there was too many blank moment where the actors did nothing but walk among the public. The music was good, the jokes grew old very fast. The Charles Playhouse staff was great however.

If youre paying for a show, you really want to feel like you experienced a show. Thats the beauty of this theater. Either of the two stages let you be close to the performance and really enjoy what you are seeing. Its the Theater District without the hustle and bustle.

Very small but great performance. The staff are very helpful and friendly and I would go back for an event. The side seats are uncomfortable because you have to turn your head the whole time. Best seats are in the middle facing forward.

Went to see Shear Madness. Its hilariously funny. Small and intimate. Any seat is great!

Excellent entertainment! Blue Man Group never fails to deliver. Great time with family!

Shear Madness was as funny or even funnier than when we saw it 30 years ago. Side-splitting laughter! And being able to enjoy a local cider at the table was a big plus.

Great theater excellent show. When to see the Blue Man Group. Had an awesome time.

Great show! Had such a good time. If youve never been its worth experiencing.

Amazingly funny and well done performance on all parts, would see it again!

The staff here is amazing!!! They are so helpful and so polite. The doorman on sunday and the karaoke bartender are top notch!!!!

This is a great interactive theater to visit when making a trip to Boston. Weather coming as an individual, a couple, or with a large group, you are sure to have a tremendous amount of fun with this ever-changing story. The cast does a great job of getting the audience involved in the play and the ending will leave you surprised!

Small theatre so all the seats are good.

Fun, lively and intimate. Two bars, one in the downstairs lobby and a smaller one upstairs. We saw the Blue Man Group and enjoyed it tremendously.

Blue Man Group was awesome!!! The staff were very nice and definitely did well at making you feel comfortable and welcome. Also, they are very handicapped accessible and didnt make me feel awkward at all unlike other places!

The show is incredibly, I recomend 100%

The Charles Playhouse is great. My husband and I saw the Blue Man Group on New Years Eve 1999 and loved it. We took our teenage daughter to see Sheer Madness a couple of years ago and last weekend we came back for the Blue Man Group.Tickets are reasonable and the atmosphere is fun and festive. The staff was also super helpful when my husband lost his phone. Its a great little playhouse.

Do yourself a favor and put your phone on airplane mode or turn it off once you go down the stairs into the basement theater. Theres no signal and youre there to enjoy the show anyway. Oh and better yet use the bathroom beforehand since the one here is less than desirable. It is all the way on the top left side with a few turns down a mini-labyrinth. Real estate is pricey so the bathrooms are extremely cramped. They also have this raised platform for the actual 2 toilet stalls. Why is this necessary for the porcelain throne? You also need to be careful swinging the door open since it will block the person in the other stall from getting out.Of the many theaters Ive visited in Boston this one is a notch above the Orpheum in terms of comfort. If you have front row seats youre sitting a table of 4 or 5 chairs probably with strangers and the chairs are pushed together so close they are touching. (No elbow room!) They are also eclipsing the table next to you. The red chairs farther back are in the foldout movie set director chairs. (Is that the correct term?) Not sure if they are more comfortable but they look roomier. I have only been to this venue for Shear Madness. (Check out the review for that as well.) However, I imagine for Blue Man Group (on the list of things to do) they have splash zone warnings along with ponchos.They have a full bar in the back, but Im not one to pay exorbitant prices at any venue if it can be avoided. Just enjoy the show folks in this extremely intimate setting. Aside from the security upon entering who gave me grief for non-existent metal in my jacket all of the other staff were relatively helpful.

This was an amazing show!! If you dont like loud music and flashing lights (strobe lights) this is not not the show for you.

If they can win me over, its good. I normally dont like these things, but it was fun. Really enjoyed it.

Saw the blue man group. Very nice venue! Seemed kind of small, but was the perfect size for the act. Staff was very accommodating, and had us seated very quickly.

Well worth the day. Very funny

Awkward seating, couldnt see parts of the show. Otherwise, nice staff and easy to get too

I have now Seen it 3 times and it is always worth a trip. Funny and always updated.

Cute idea. Id come again with friends.

Steak tips were amazing. Waitress was very efficient

We love Blue Man Group. They have stayed creative for over twenty years!!!!

Excited actors, lot of fun, very intelligent comedy and finally a comedy without bad words. I went with my family and my teenagers loved it.

Super fun spot for a dateBut small and underground location, kinda creepy but very Boston

The play was very well executed. All the performer were excellent!! Really funny and interesting play.

I love Charles Playhouse and the way the theater is set up. It’s a small theater, which make the environment cozy and no matter where your seat is, you have a great view! I loved the Blue Man Group show!

Blue Man Group was good, but not worth the $100/seat + service fee for seats up close. The theater is small, so youll have just as good a view from the cheaper seats.

Very nice. I saw the Blue Man Group there, it was great

Ive seen the Blue Man Group here and Shear Madness on my last trip. You can even get half price tickets for a matinee show from certain sites. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. I was able to take my nieces here, so it is definitely kid friendly as well. Of you are up for something fun and different, this is the spot!

So this is BY FAR the best show I have ever seen. I love how they are interactive with the audience. I went with my school and during “the break” Tony was was talking to us and in the second half they incorporated some of what we talked about in the improv. Tony was definitely my favorite character. The only thing I wish is that we could have talked to the cast afterward. Overall I loved it through and through. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Shear madness... So much fun...Cast did a great job and really seemed to enjoy their work.

Blue Man Group was awesome!!!

Place was nice we enjoyed the Show. You can buy discount tickets online but I would only by from them. We were lucky and got moved to better seats because it was not a full house. Its a good place to go for something different kind of like a melodrama.

Its a small playhouse near the theater district and is home to the blueman group. I have been here twice and i really like the center orchestra and balcony seats. The side seats have limited visibility though. There are paid parking lots nearby to park at and the Chinatown T stop on the orange line is close by

Blue Man Group! This was a nice, intimate setting for the show and we had a blast!

We had a blast. Very funny, audience interaction was fun. Cast seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some of the jokes went over my teenagers heads (probably a good thing) but they loved the rest of it.

Its very good and fun, but they should change the show year after year and invest in new stuff.

Really love blue man beyond my expectations we chose to sit at section B -Row E.

Try and avoid side balcony if you can. They tell you about reduced visibility but it doesnt help when everyone in front of you is leaning forward to see. Best to pay a few $$ more and get on the ground level.

Small quiant venue. Not a good option if you purchase tickets for balcony and need a restroom three levels of stairs. Otherwise a cute theatre!

We had such a great time here. The cast was great and we loved being involved in the performance.

Nice, modern style theatre. We had great seats in the second row! Prices are reasonable at the bar.

We saw the Blue Man Group today and it was a great show. Awesome theater! Will definitely go again!

Incredible show. Laughed like I havent in ages. Cast was awesome. A TRUE DELIGHT.

I went with a group of about 20 navy guys. It was all we talked about for a week after. These three guys had us laughing without saying a word. The talent to pull of some of the acts are pretty impressive. You will not have a bad time.

Love seeing the blue man group here! Never get enough of their amazing performance!

Standard theater experience - security check before entry, helpful ushers, small and intimate venue with decent acoustics, no photography. Restrooms at the basement. Saw the Blue Man Show here and it was very entertaining.

So much fun and so many laughs ! Must see !
