Fox Theatre Welcomes Blue Man Group, 1/18-23

NETworks Presentations, LLC and Blue Man Productions are pleased to announce a new theatrical touring production of Blue Man Group will perform at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta from January 18-23, 2011. Tickets are on sale NOW at Ticketmaster outlets, the Fox Theatre Box Office, 800-982-2787 and www.ticketmaster.com.  Special group rates are available through Fox Theatre Group Sales at 404-881-2000.
 
Although Blue Man Group has toured previously with its Megastar arena rock show, this marks the very first theatrical production to tour North America. The theatrical tour features classic Blue Man moments as well as brand new content.
 
Blue Man Group on tour also features a new physical design centering around a proscenium-sized LED curtain and high-resolution screen creating an entirely new visual experience for Broadway houses across the nation.
 
The critically acclaimed Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorization. Blue Man Group is best known for multi-media performances that feature three bald and blue characters who take the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually stunning. A live band, whose haunting tribal rhythms help drive the show to its climax, accompanies the  Blue Men.
 
"Until now, we have never mounted a touring version of our theatrical production," says Blue Man Group co-founder Philip Stanton. "The main reason for this is we needed to find a way to transform theatres of all shapes and sizes into spaces in which the Blue Man can intimately connect with the audience, where the audience can become engaged with the spirit of the show and of the Blue Man himself.  We think we have finally figured it out, and an audience member in a theatre that seats 4,500 people or so will now be able to enjoy the same intimate experience that might be had in one of our smaller theatres. Our goal with this production, as with all of our productions, is to help audience members reconnect with their own sense of discovery, with their own sense of what is possible in their lives."
 
Blue Man Group will play the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta from January 18-23, 2011. Performances are Tuesday-Friday at 8 pm, Saturday at 2 pm & 8 pm, and Sunday at 1:30 pm & 7 pm. Tickets are on sale NOW at Ticketmaster outlets, 800-982-2787 and www.ticketmaster.com.  Ticket prices range from $30-$70.  Special group rates are available through the Fox Theatre Group Sales Department at 404-881-2000.
