Blue Man Group Theatrical Tour to Visit the Orpheum Theatre, 6/15-24
NETworks Presentations, LLC and Blue Man Productions today announced a new theatrical touring production will stop at Hennepin Theatre Trust's Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, June 15-24, 1012. Blue Man Group is presented by Hennepin Theatre Trust as part of its 2011/12 Broadway Across America-Minneapolis Season. Tickets are on sale now. For information or to purchase tickets, please visit HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 1.800.982.2787.
Although Blue Man Group has toured previously with its Megastar arena rock show, this marks the first theatrical production to tour North America. The theatrical tour features classic Blue Man moments as well as brand new content. Blue Man Group on tour also features a new physical design centering around a proscenium-sized LED curtain and high-resolution screen creating an entirely new visual experience for Broadway houses across the nation.
The critically acclaimed Blue Man Group creates 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. A live band, whose haunting tribal rhythms help drive the show to its climax, accompanies the Blue Men.
"Until now, we have never mounted a touring version of our theatrical production," says Blue Man Group co-founder Philip Stanton. "The main reason for this is we needed to find a way to transform theatres of all shapes and sizes into spaces in which the Blue Man can intimately connect with the audience, where the audience can become engaged with the spirit of the show and of the Blue Man himself. We think we have finally figured it out, and an audience member in a theatre that seats 4,500 people or so will now be able to enjoy the same intimate experience that might be had in one of our smaller theatres. Our goal with this production, as with all of our productions, is to help audience members reconnect with their own sense of discovery, with their own sense of what is possible in their lives."
