Ultimately, this is all the fault of the Blue Man Group. That’s who I immediately blamed, anyway, when the following offer arrived in my inbox:

Irrational anger aside, this really does look awful to me. And if the picture weren’t enough to scare me away, the description sure is:

Say what you will about the Blue Man Group, but at least they’re not singing a cappella.
