BWW Interviews: Kalen Allmandinger, one of the "Blue Men" in Blue Man Group at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, January 18 - 23.
by Joseph Harrison - January 09, 2011
If you have heard of Blue Man Group or experienced one of their previous productions or tours, you know how unique and exciting their world famous productions can be. Filled with 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. When the latest tour arrives at the Fabulous Fox Theatre January 18 - 23, however, Atlanta audiences, even those who have experienced the Blue phenomenon, are in for something new and exciting. Featuring classic moments and brand new content, this first theatrical production to tour North America is sure to please. The "Blue Men" are usually men of few (or more accurately, no) words, but I got one of them, Kalen Allmandinger, a veteran Blue Man, to speak long enough to tell me a little about himself, this exciting new production and why audiences of all ages are in for a real treat.

BWW Interviews: Robert Butters, Producer of Peter Pan at Atlanta’s Pemberton Place, beginning January 21.
by Joseph Harrison - January 04, 2011
For many people, old and young alike, the story of Peter Pan brings up very distinct images: the Darling children flying off with Peter to Neverland, the irascible Captain Hook and his band of surly pirates, or the mischevious fairy, Tinkerbell. These memories come from years of tellings and re-tellings of this classic story, but new memories will be created for theater-goers when the latest production of Peter Pan comes to Atlanta January 21 through April 10. Performing in a state-of-the-art tented structure in Pemberton Place (downtown, between the World of Coke and the Georgia Aquarium) this production, which utilizes 360 degrees of CGI graphics and state of the art technology to immerse the audience in the world of Peter Pan, is sure to amaze. To learn about the production and its journey to Atlanta, we spoke with Robert Butters, one of the producers of the show and found out what we can expect when Peter and friends fly into Atlanta later this month.
