Blue Man Group performances are a celebration of human connection. Mixing art, music, comedy, and state-of-the-art technology, the show encourages audiences to reconnect with their inner (and outer) child and see the world through a new perspective. Three bald and blue men explore our cultural norms with wide-eyed wonder, poking fun at our collective quirks and reminding us how much we all have in common.

Blue Man Group is not just a show featuring three bald and blue men, it’s a total immersive experience. We think of the Blue Man as an “everyman” – he really holds a mirror up to us and our culture and helps us laugh at ourselves a bit, and see ourselves and our world a bit differently. The real goal of any Blue Man Group show is to celebrate all that we have in common as human beings—to celebrate our curiosity, our creativity, and our need for community
