If you have to go to one of them, which would you go to?

I went to the Blue Man Group at their home theater in Chicago this summer, and I would say that it appeals to the younger sort, so if you're bringing kids, then I'd go to tbmg.

Just to make sure, you aren't looking for a male support group, are you?

I've seen the Vegas showing of BMG twice and think it's great. Not sure if Stomp is any good... looks interesting though.

I haven't seen BMG.

I have been to Stomp and Stomp is really really good. They don't say anything at all, but there is humor in it.

May I choose suicide?

I've been to both. Saw the BMG at Universal's City Walk in Orlando, which is supposedly different from other BMG shows. I also saw STOMP a while back on my birthday. It's a tough call. If you enjoy a more music based show, I'd say Stomp. Stomp was just pure music and beats, but it was really amazing the stuff they did and how they put it all together. BMG was more advanced obviously. If you want a more overall show that involves stuff other than music, go to BMG.

Depends on what you want. I saw both.

BMG:
More theatrical and a bigger production. Lots of acting, elaborate props and stage play. Also heavy use of stage lights. There's a scene where 'live stickfigure' comes out in real life by someone wearing a complete black suit with stick figure outlines in a neon tube lightning. The whole theatre was dark but filled with live music. It felt like the stick figure became LIVE from a 2D screen to a real world. Cool stuff. Also their infamous ending is utter unforgettable.

Stomp:
More focused on beats. Not so much visual. They orchestrate catchy rhythms and music using various household objects. Unlike BMG, you're just watching them beat music in plain sight. I enjoyed this as well but is nowhere near theatrically grand as BMG which uses a complete visual experience and eyecandy on top of music. a good example. They're still good though.

another good example of BMG being more 'theatrical' (hilarity ensues when their face on LCD starts to deviate from reality for some serious amusement and laughter).

If you've seen neither, I'd certainly suggest BMG over Stomp any day.

Seems BMG is the more popular option.

I saw BMG in Boston about ten years ago, and it was awesome. Not sure what it's like now that they've gotten super famous. Stomp doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

I'd pick Stomp but just because I really like that sort of thing. I'm sure BMG is great too but I've never seen them except when they have bit spots on the TOnight Show or something. Looks just weird.
