The Wow factor of Momix and some Crazy Blue Men
by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
 On September 10 and 11,
TITAS, in association with the AT&T Performing Arts Center, will present
MOMIX, whose mesmerizing performances have been thrilling audiences for
years. Always a TITAS
favorite, MOMIX will perform its newest creation, Botanica, for
the first time in North Texas.
For a quarter century, MOMIX has been celebrated for its ability to
conjure up a world of surrealistic images using props, light, shadow, humor
and the human body.
Beautiful and enthralling, Botanica features an eclectic score
ranging from birdsongs to Vivaldi. It follows the rhythms of the seasons,
changing the shape of life on Earth and the passing of a day. The
performance is enhanced by spectacular costumes, video projections and giant
puppetry.
MOMIX founder Moses Pendleton has been celebrated as one of America’s
most innovative choreographers and his company has performed in dozens of
countries throughout the world.
Tickets for MOMIX range from $19 to $125.
I have been a loyal fan of Momix for years.

Seeing the World in Blue
I was an early adapter of The Blue Man Group. I saw it at a theatre near
Cooper Union in the Village in New York. We were vacationing in New York
with our children and from the preview blurbs thought the show might be more
fun for our pre-teen children than a serious drama.
They loved it. I loved it. And I have been a fan ever since.
About two years ago, I had a chance to see the show in Las Vegas. The
concept had evolved to include Pyrotechniques and was more graphically
exciting but still had the “WHAT NEXT?” factor that made the show so unique.
I can’t wait to see this latest show.
Blue Man Group
From September 14 through 26, Blue Man Group will stage its wildly
popular theatrical show and concert at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
People of all ages agree that Blue Man Group is an intensely exciting and
outrageous show that leaves the audience in a blissful, euphoric state.
Combining comedy, music and technology, Blue Man Group produces a totally
unique form of entertainment.
The New York Times has called the show “One of the most delightful
performance pieces ever staged.” E!
Entertainment exclaimed, “Blue Man Group is what every live performance
aspires to be.” Tickets range
from $25 to $150.
