Show Details & Reviews
Blue Man Group started as a collaboration by three friends in 1987. The show was meant to be a celebration of the end of the 1980s, and the three friends wore blue masks. It has since evolved into a more mainstream event, with performances across the country. Cirque du Soleil bought Blue Man Group in 2017.
The show has been at the Astor since 1991, and is constantly updated. In 2015, New York Times Laura Collins-Hughes wrote: “The show is updated regularly, but the strongest bits tend to be the oldest: when the Blue Men spatter canvases with bursts of pigment from their mouths; the gross-out sequence involving Twinkies and a volunteer; the use of Cap’n Crunch cereal as a percussion device. The bright sprays of paint they send into the air with each rapid beat on a drum will always be weirdly beautiful, partly thanks to the gorgeous lighting by Matthew McCarthy.”
