Fuerza Bruta - A Must See

Last night my wife and I went to the TKTS booth at the South Street Seaport and got tickets to Fuerza Bruta. We had never heard of it, but it sounded pretty interesting. It was absolutely amazing:

It was half Blue Man Group, half Cirque du Soleil, half anger management class, half The Matrix, half rave on meth, and half audience participation. Yes, I know that is too many halves, but it is a large show.

Much of the action takes place above you. Actors are running on treadmills, crashing through stuff, running on walls suspended by wires, or swimming in a transparent pool just inches above your head. The music is loud and funky. You are continually moved around by the crew. You will get wet. You may have something broken over your head. It is jaw dropping spectacular. In a word - WOW!

Recommended for: This is a great show for teens. It%26#39;s a great show for anyone who loves amazing visual and technical excitement. It%26#39;s a great show if you liked Blue Man or Cirque du Soliel

Not Recommended for: Hater of loud music. People with limited mobility. You will be called upon to stand and move for about an hour.

Fuerza Bruta - A Must See

Yes, I agree Fuerza Bruta is a must-see. We saw it in January and we also got our tickets at the South Street Seaport.

I enjoyed a glass of wine beforehand after a very long line with only one bartender.

It was also interesting to see people of all ages there, but I personally wouldn%26#39;t bring pre-teens of which I saw 3 or 4. In the above water part one of the women was wearing white and slithering above you - art yes, but I think somewhat inappropriate for such youngsters.

Fuerza Bruta - A Must See

I just bought discounted tickets for next week to Fuerza Bruta on Broadwaybox.com for $45 each!!

Can you rec a good spot for dinner before the show near the theater that might help us get in the right frame of mind? There are four of us...two teens (15 and 19) and their very young at heart parents.

5 days and counting....

After reading your description of this show I couldn%26#39;t quite ';wrap my head around it'; so I did a ';Lotus'; and looked at the You Tube. :D After seeing the You Tube I%26#39;m still not sure how they choreograph all that action @ once. It must be quite a performance!

I was lucky enough to get a piece of styrofoam broken over my head! We loved it but you really are packed together tightly. I recommend leaving your handbag at home (mine was jammed into my side during the show), don%26#39;t bring anyone under 5 feet tall with you (a boy around the age of 10 had to have had trouble breathing being so squashed in), and don%26#39;t wear open toed shoes or sandals. If you don%26#39;t want to get soaking wet at the end of the show, be sure to move away from the middle of the room.

It%26#39;s an incredible experience!

My wife and I had a great dinner at the Blue Water Grill right on Union Square. It was absolutely delicious. We had some of the best calmari we ever ate, a delicious lobster bisque, a delicious sushi roll and some other goodies. The desert was molten chocolate cake with amazing malted milk ice cream. MMMMM.

Here%26#39;s their website:

It%26#39;s a nice place, not to stuffy, and good food to boot.

another +1 here for FB!!! it%26#39;s awesome, we saw it last month and loved it! We got our tix from the box office with a Broadway Box discount coupon so only $39 which was great. Also after the show drinks were 2 for 1 in the bar downstairs.

I%26#39;ve been reccomending it to everyone i see and i would see it again if i go back to NY.

Try to reservations at Union Square Cafe, get service and even better food. One of Danny Meyer%26#39;s places.

Union Square Cafe is indeed a great place to eat. It%26#39;s one of the best in the City. We went to Blue Water Grill because it was much less expensive. You will not be disappointed eating at either.

BrooklynMel,

If you make another description of your dinner like that I swear I will eat my keyboard!

Fuerza Bruta has made its way to our schedule for our next trip.

Thanks for the suggestion.

How long does the show last?

Only day I could do this is the day I arrive, and it would be quite tight if I could get there on time. Show is at 7pm that day and wondering when it finishes to know if I could eat afterwards rather than before to save time?
