BLUE MAN GROUP Chicago Hosts Special Halloween Weekend Performances October 28-29

Blue Man Group Chicago will celebrate the spookiest season of the year by hosting two special Halloween-themed performances at the Briar Street Theatre (3133 North Halsted) Saturday, October 28 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, October 29 at 1 p.m.

Each scary-fun performance will feature pre-show face painting in the theater lobby, Halloween-inspired surprises during the show and celebratory goodie bags for all children under age 17. Halloween costumes are encouraged for all audience members. After the performance, audience members will be invited to the theater lobby for photo opportunities with the Blue Men. 

Celebrating more than 25 years in Chicago, Blue Man Group originally debuted at the Briar Street Theatre in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood in 1997. A dynamic combination of art, music, comedy and technology, Blue Man Group encourages audiences to reconnect with their inner (and outer) child in order to see the world through a new perspective. Three bald and blue men explore today's cultural norms with wonder, poking fun at the audience's collective quirks and reminding them how much they all have in common. Blue Man Group recently debuted stunning new visual media upgrades to its Chicago production, including 17 new digital screens featuring state-of-the-art video content and a brand new opening act. 

Blue Man Group Chicago tickets start at $49. This fall, audiences can take advantage of Blue Man Group's Fall Flash Sale, offering 30 percent off select seats and performances from Sept. 22 through Oct. 31. Tickets can be purchased at www.BlueMan.com/Chicago/Offers
