What is Blue Man Group?
Blue Man Group is a creative organization dedicated to creating excitement-generating experiences for our audience and ourselves.
What age group is appropriate for the theatrical shows?
One of the great things about seeing Blue Man Group is that it appeals to all ages. Kids will enjoy the lights, color and spectacle. Adults enjoy the humor, social commentary and depth of the character. Even the hardened theatre critic finds a deeper message behind the fun and mess.
While the show appeals to a wide audience, it’s not recommended for children under three.
How did Blue Man Group evolve?
The show evolved out of salon style meetings with three long time friends Chris Wink, Phil Stanton and Matt Goldman. They began making public appearances as Blue Man Group on the streets of New York City as well as in performance art spaces of the East Village. Some of those pieces, as well as others developed with musical collaborators Larry Heinemann, Ian Pai and video designer Caryl Glaab, were used to create a show at La Mama, ETC. (the famous East Village performance space). This led to opening the show at the Astor Place Theatre. The Boston show opened next, followed by Chicago, then Las Vegas, Berlin and Toronto.
I have tickets in what is referred to as the "Poncho Section." Do I have to bring my own poncho?
Blue Man Group refers to the area closest to the stage as the "Poncho Section." Blue Man Group provides each person in this section with a poncho just in case some of the materials used on stage go into the audience.
I have heard that the theatre show can get a little messy. What is the appropriate dress for Blue Man Group?
The blue men do use a variety of materials on stage and at times those materials get into the audience close to the stage. While it does not happen all the time, we do strongly suggest that you do not wear clothing that you consider nice or valuable. We encourage casual attire for the show. Jeans and sneakers are ideal.
How long does it take a Blue Man to prepare before the show? What is the make-up the Blue Men put on their faces?
It takes a Blue Man approximately one hour to get in costume for the show. The Blue Men wear grease paint on their heads. It never dries. This effect allows the Blue Men to maintain that wet gooey look throughout the show.
What is the name of the song playing during the paper finale?
The name of the song used at the end of the show in New York, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas and Toronto is "Last Train to Trancentral," by KLF. It can be found on their album entitled, White Room . It is also available as a bonus track featured on the AUDIO DVD 5.1 Surround Sound Mix. The Berlin and London shows end in an amazing re-mix of Blue Man Group's version of "I Feel Love."
Is there a strobe light used in your theatre performance?
There are some portions of the show in which a strobe light is used, mainly in the final sequence. There are signs carefully marked with this information at each one of our theatres. Please take note of this, and proceed accordingly.
Are group discounts available?
