Blue Man Group's Theatrical Production Returns to Houston in June

Blue Man Group returns to Houston with its theatrical touring production for eight performances June 4-9, 2013, in Jones Hall, presented by Society for the Performing Arts. Performance times are: 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 4 through Saturday, June 8; 2 p.m.Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9; and 7 p.m. Sunday, June 9. Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased by calling713-224-4772 or visiting www.spahouston.org.

The theatrical tour features new content highlighted by classic Blue Man favorites. The sound, set and video design are centered around a proscenium-sized LED curtain and high-resolution screen, creating a high-impact visual experience for audience members.

Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorization and is best known for multi-media performances that feature three bald and blue characters who take audience members 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 on stage.

"Our theatrical productions take a humorous look at what we like to call 2.5-D space," says Blue Man Group Co-Founder Philip Stanton. "An example of what we mean by this would be emailing or texting the person in the next office rather than walking over to talk to them face-to-face.

"We say that no matter how high-tech things get, there's still something human there. We'll always need others, always need to collaborate. People still need to come together and look each other in the eye. Through the Blue Man's connection with the audience, we hope to encourage this human-to-human interaction, while helping people reconnect with their own sense of wonder and discovery, with their own sense of what is possible in their lives."

Tickets range from $35-$80 and can be purchased online at www.spahouston.org, by phone at 713-227-4772 or at the courtyard level ticket office at Jones Hall located at 615 Louisiana St. Hours of operation: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Friday,10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday.
