The New York Times said of the show "People from all over the world, from all walks of life and from all age groups have become fans!" The Chicago Tribune called Blue Man Group "The perfect entertainment" while The Los Angeles Times designated the Blue Men as "the most tantalizing boundary-pusher(s) afoot" and E! Entertainment Television dubbed the show "what every performance aspires to be!"

In the show, the Blue Men encounter a variety of environments to discover, engage with and explore of-the-moment situations with cutting-edge technology. Many of the signature scenes that have made Blue Man Group one of today's best-loved theatrical productions have been in the show since its opening and new material has been integrated regularly. Newer passages include Blue Men interacting with "GiPads;" a funny and perceptive look at contemporary communication vehicles; and a pulsating finale featuring an original Blue Man Group music score.

Currently, Blue Man Group theatrical shows can be seen in New York, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Orlando, Berlin, and on tour throughout the U.S. Blue Man Group can also be seen onboard the Norwegian Epic by Norwegian Cruise Line - the Official Cruise Line of Blue Man Group.

The company's music, featuring custom made instruments and signature, percussive sound, can be heard on five albums, including the Grammy-nominated "Audio," as well as
various film and television projects. As the company grows, it remains true to its vision of providing exciting experiences in a variety of media, appealing to a broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds.
