BLUE MAN GROUP Returning to Nashville in January 2015

A new theatrical touring production of BLUE MAN GROUP returns with new sound, set, and video design to create an entirely new, high-impact visual experience at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall for a limited, one-week engagement from January 6-11.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 17, at 10:00 a.m. at TPAC.org, by phone at (615) 782-4040, and at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick Street, in downtown Nashville. For group tickets, please call (615) 782-4060.

BLUE MAN GROUP has received praise from critics across the country. The Baltimore Sun raves, "BLUE MAN GROUP packs a wallop. It's a big, loud, funny, silly, visually arresting production!" The Charlotte Observer says BLUE MAN GROUP is "a hugely entertaining show for anyone ages 9 to 90." The San Antonio Express-News proclaims it's "an exhilarating, thought-provoking, laugh-yourself-silly evening of percussion-heavy rock music, comedy and playful commentary."

"Blue Man Group is not your traditional two-act musical. It's a clever, unique, and iconic show filled with comedy," says Kathleen O'Brien, TPAC president and chief executive officer. "Audiences will leave the show feeling that they didn't just watch a performance but were part of the Blue Man experience. Performance art and comedy blended together, what's not to love?"

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.

"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."
