A NEW HOLIDAY SURPRISE: Blue Man Group to Make Holiday Tour Debut in Boston
A NEW HOLIDAY SURPRISE will play the Boch Center Wang Theatre for a limited 13-performance engagement.
Blue Man Group will bring its first-ever holiday production, 'A New Holiday Surprise,' on the road this season with limited engagements in Boston and other markets, where audiences will be among the first in the country to experience the all-new production. The tour will be going to the Boch Center Wang Theatre in Boston for 13 performances from Dec. 15 to Dec. 23. Tickets go on sale on July 24, 2026, and will be available to purchase at bochcenter.org.
'Bringing Blue Man Group's first-ever holiday production to Boston is an exciting milestone and a natural evolution of the iconic Blue Man experience,' said Marie-Josée Adam, President and CEO of Blue Man Group. 'The holidays are about creating unforgettable memories and we're thrilled to offer audiences a fresh, immersive celebration that blends the music, humor, creativity and joyful unpredictability that have defined Blue Man Group for decades.'
'Blue Man Group has been woven into Boston's cultural identity for more than three decades, and we're incredibly excited to welcome the Blue Men home,' said J. Casey Soward, President & CEO of the Boch Center. 'After the close of their historic 30-year residency at the Charles Playhouse in 2025, this marks a true homecoming for one of the city's most iconic theatrical experiences. This December, audiences will have the opportunity to experience Blue Man Group in an entirely new way with a festive production created especially for the holiday season. We can't wait to welcome longtime fans and first-time audiences alike to the Wang Theatre to celebrate together.'
The brand-new production will feature classic holiday music performed on Blue Man Group's iconic custom instruments, while following the Blue Men as they discover the traditions, rituals and joyful absurdities of the holidays while exploring timeless themes of generosity, presence, creativity and human connection. Equal parts hilarious, heartwarming and visually unforgettable, 'A New Holiday Surprise' offers audiences a unique holiday tradition that celebrates what brings us together.
The non-verbal group communicates through music, art, and comedy, creating powerful connections without saying a word. As the Blue Men navigate our world with curiosity, audiences are invited into a captivating, communal experience that sparks creativity and ignites the imagination.
