Blue Man Group Tour: A Multimedia Extravaganza Coming to your Town in 2010
In recent years, the Blue Man Group has become so popular that the organization can hardly
keep up with the demand for their performances. While there are 5 ongoing shows in the U.S. and a few others
elsewhere in the world, these are not nearly enough to reach everyone. That’s why the group recently announced a
Blue Man Group tour.
The tour, which is the first Blue Man Group tour in North America, is set to kick off in
the early fall of 2010, and it will continue for several months into 2011. The company has not yet announced the
exact cities and dates of their shows, but they assure customers that they will be traveling far and wide with
their innovative performance.
If you’re a fan of Blue Man Group albums and videos, this will give you a chance to finally
see them in person. As anyone who has seen the show will tell you, it’s really something that has to be
experienced in person. The videos are great, but all that cutting and jumping around sort of distracts from the
fact that all of the group’s skits and stunts are done live and in an incredibly seamless way.
On the other hand, if you’re not familiar with the group, the Blue Man Group tour will be
your chance to acquaint yourself with this performance phenomenon that has swept the United States and the
world. There is really nothing like it. The group is one of a kind.
To give a basic introduction, the Blue Man Group started out as an independent theater
production in lower Manhattan in the early 1990s. The production was so strange and innovative that it wasn’t
long before they were winning awards and selling out theaters. They soon moved to the larger Astor Place Theatre
in Manhattan. Their Boston show opened in 1995, the Chicago version came in 1997, and it’s been nothing but
expansion ever since.
As for the show itself, it’s a little hard to describe, which is why this tour is long in
coming. Finally, people from all over the country will get to see what the strange blue men with their dances,
music, and stunts are all about. Essentially, it’s a multi-media extravaganza that uses pounding drums, rock
music, light shows, and a huge video screen to support the antics of three men who are painted blue. That’s all
there is to it, really, but so much more comes out in the execution.
When asked why it took the company so long to do a full Blue Man Group tour, the founder of
the show said that they wanted to be able to get it right. After all, let’s not forget that Blue Man Group shows
are complicated productions. They’re not like any other concert experience in the world.
Actually, with all of the things that go into the program, one might ask how it’s even
possible for the group to tour. But if you ask me, this makes the tour even more interesting. How will
performing in new theater’s effect the show?
