About Blue Man Group

Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint over latex bald caps and black clothing while playing a mixture of idiosyncratic instruments. Blue Man Group's theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), performance art, odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a "poncho section" of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which are thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are family-oriented, humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall; for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.

The company applies its unique creative process to a wide variety of projects, including the recording of several albums: The Grammy-nominated Audio, The Complex, which became the musical basis for The Complex Rock Tour, How To Be a Megastar LIVE!, a two-disk DVD/CD of Blue Man Group’s popular rock concert tour and Live At The Venetian ® - Las Vegas, which is available exclusively on iTunes.
