The theatrical tour features brand new content highlighted by classic Blue Man favorites.
The new sound, set, and video design centering around a proscenium-sized LED curtain and high-resolution screen create an entirely new, high-impact visual experience for Broadway houses across the nation.
The critically acclaimed Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorization. Blue Man Group is best known for multi-media performances that feature three bald and blue characters who take the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually stunning. A live band, whose haunting tribal rhythms help drive the show to its climax,accompanies the Blue Men.
It’s impossible to say definitively why Blue Man Group has become such a cultural phenomenon, but the reasons for its universal popularity are plentiful. The show is a contemporary and timeless comedic piece, performed by three silent, bald-and-blue characters who engage in a variety of set pieces ranging fromprimitive to sophisticated that combine music, comedy, science, technology and mind-boggling creativity. Just as in vaudeville of yore, there is something on the bill for everyone.
“In order to create a touring version of our theatrical production, we knew we had a creative challenge to tackle,” says Blue Man Group Co-Founder Philip Stanton. “We needed to find a way to transform theatres of all shapes and sizes into spaces in which the Blue Man can intimately connect with the audience, where the audience can become engaged with the spirit of the show and the Blue Man himself. We think we have finally figured it out, and hopefully we will accomplish our goal, which is always to help audience members reconnect with their own sense of wonder and discovery, with their own sense of what is possible in their lives.”
Tickets are on sale now at the Blaisdell Concert Hall, online at www.ticketmaster.com, at all Ticketmaster outlets, including all Walmart Stores and by calling (800) 745-3000. For more information visit www.broadwayinhawaii.com.
