They play drums filled with paint. They hurl squishy objects through the air. They turn toilet paper into streamers. They’re the three silent, mysterious men dressed head to toe in blue who collectively make up the endlessly innovative theatrical experience that is Blue Man Group. Performed at an intimate Off-Broadway theatre in the East Village, this ever-popular show has become a true New York City institution. And it’s just been updated by its creators to include material that reflects the changes in the world (especially in technology) that have happened since this trio arrived on the scene years ago.
Stop by to see the marvels that are happening on stage with enormous ipads and the apps that come to life in hilarious ways. The classic material that audiences love is still there, but now there’s even more fun to be had at this dynamic show that combines multimedia, comedy and music into a total party atmosphere. A couple of tips: You just might get pulled into the action. And if you sit very close, you might get splattered upon. But no worries: The theatre is happy to provide those in the first few rows with ponchos, so you’ll leave just as clean and dry as you were when you arrived. Blue Man is especially great as a show for groups, because it’s tons of fun to share this kind of experience with your friends.
One of the greatest things about Blue Man Group is its amazing universal appeal. Children will delight in the colors and general silliness. Adults will be drawn in by the humor and sly social commentary. And since the entire show is performed without a single word being uttered, it’s perfect for people visiting from other countries. Even if you don’t speak English, you’ll completely understand what’s happening and be drawn into the action.
