Blue Man Group is an American performance art company formed in 1987. It is known for its stage productions that incorporate many kinds of music and art, both popular and obscure.[1] Its performers, known as Blue Men, have their skin painted blue. They are mute during shows and always appear in groups of three.
The company had continuing shows in Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, and New York City. The Chicago run ended on January 15, 2025, and the New York run closed February 2, 2025.[2]
A typical production employs seven to nine full-time Blue Men who are selected by audition. In addition to their stage shows, Blue Man Group has toured nationally and internationally, appeared on TV programs as characters and performers, released multiple studio albums, contributed to a number of film scores, and performed with orchestras around the United States.
