Upcoming JPJ shows

Upcoming JPJ shows:


February 16: Blue Man Group. Watch video and read about their Village hijinx in Sunday’s Travel section of the Post.

February 22: Van Halen. I know I’m hot for teacher. Yeah, there are probably too many reunion tours happening right now. But it’s Van Halen. I am going to have “Runnin’ with the deviiiiiil” in my head all day long just for writing the band’s name.

February 26-March 1: Cirque Du Soleil’s Saltimbanco. My parents love this stuff. I take issue with face paint and contortionism, which is to say that I don’t enjoy losing focus on a performance as I think about whether actors can ever fully remove their makeup at night and how awkward that would be on a date (and my God, the Clearasil!), nor do I enjoy the muscle sores and knots that result from cringing for prolonged periods. But if you also love this stuff, now you don’t have to drive too far to see it.

See the full schedule!

    the blue man group is forever bound with arrested development in my mind. good for them, really, because before AD i thought the whole thing was worthless.

    i’d love to come along, but i just blue myself.

    I saw Blue Man Group in Vegas and last year at JPJ. If you’ve never seen them before, I highly suggest it. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before; a multimedia mix of performance art, mime, music, and painting. They are absolutely hilarious, they get the audience involved, and the music is pretty sweet.

    Van Halen cheap seats were $45…not too bad for such a major tour I thought. I personally cannot wait for the show. Nothing like a great rock show, especially if it’s 80’s rock (I recommend Def Leppard for this reason). I’ll be there rocking out my air guitar. Any takers for a cVillain pre and/or post party?

    I’ve seen a few Cirque Du Soleil shows in Vegas, Orlando, and DC, along with countless videos. They are literally reinventing the circus. I find their performances fascinating (”O” was a bit repetitive…how many different ways can you jump in a pool?…although this theatre in the Bellagio was like 90 degrees and I was drunk and hadn’t slept in 2 days, so that could be influencing my opinion). But their shows are friggin expensive! I’ll take the Big Apple circus for a quarter of the price.

    I shelled out the mid-range bucks for the Police reunion and didn’t have horrible seats, but they weren’t great by any means. JPJ is like the Patriot Center, in my mind, in that it’s small enough that there aren’t a lot of really bad seats. I couldn’t justify the scratch for VH, but I might for Def Leppard if they’re coming around. I’d give my right arm to play drums for those guys!

    Lame. Lame. And would only be fun if I were high or drunk. Or both.

    I’ve already got my ticket, but bring it on! I’d prefer jello wrestling though…

    I do not want to see VH but thanks. I will however, donkeypunch you in a babypool of jello. Ooh, is that unacceptable?
