I've seen both the "local" Toronto show and the touring "How to be a Rock Star" show a few years back.

If you have a choice, go see the tour version.  Amazing show. (It also introduced me to a band I had never heard of before, "Venus Hum". Great band.)

The "local" Toronto show was good, but disappointing and over-priced when compared to the tour show.

It's not that I don't believe that the show is great.  I do.  I've never known anyone who's seen it that didn't think it was all kinds of magical.  But what in the hell is it?  Their advertising is awful.  Nothing about a group of guys with blue paint on their faces is appealing to me.  I don't think to myself, "Wow, those guys are very . . . blue.  This I have to see."  And the Intel commercials from a few years back that used them certainly didn't make them look particularly entertaining.

Percussion based performance art.

That's the one they play at the Panasonic Theater, right? I'm actually glad you say the tour version is better. I thought the one in Toronto was fantastic, so seeing the tour one is sure to be good.

And I didn't think it was overpriced at all. I may have also been saved by decent conversion rates though too.  ;D

Yes at Panasonic. It was over $60 a ticket (canadian) yes? Trouble is, I saw the big tour show first, for the same price as this small-scale version. You'll love the big show.

To people who wonder what the hell is so great. It's a big mix of unique music, percussion, special effects, humor, technology, etc. Very entertaining.

Shmokes: You could nay-say any kind of performance. ie: "what's so great about a couple guys with guitars, a drummer, and a bunch of lights?" Just go see it! ;-)
