Not far from all the hoopla of all the new buildings along the Amsterdam harbor, there are a bunch of old factories that the developers have done a great job of converting to other things. One of my favorites is the huge factory they turned into a theater, appropriately named "Theater Fabriek". In the past I've seen artists from the cirque du soleil perform there, and marvelled at how cool the building was from the inside.

Currently, and running all summer, the theater is featuring a very familiar name to most North Americans: The Blue Man Group. Maybe you've seen them, I know I haven't. Either way it is a good option in a very cool Amsterdam venue. Tickets run about 30 euros, and for such a quality Greenwich Village born show, it is a fair bargain.
