Blue Man Group: Ready...Go!, on view at the Museum of the City of New York from July 19, 2019, through September 2, 2019, is a new interactive installation highlighting the creativity and legacy of the bald, blue-hued, silent trio who first burst onto the downtown New York scene in 1988 and still perform nightly at the Astor Place Theatre.
One of the centerpieces of the Blue Man Group New York show is an imaginative percussive instrument constructed from PVC piping. The original instrument, on loan from the Blue Man Group archives, heads uptown to the Museum of the City of New York for six weeks this summer as part ofBlue Man Group: Ready...Go! The installation invites visitors to jam out on the PVC pipe while learning about the group's New York City origins and taking a look at the world through the eyes of a Blue Man. The lively space-spattered with bright colors-includes the large PVC pipe instrument adorned with UV paint and surrounded by LED screens featuring text and other interactive moments. Blue Man Group will appear at Uptown Bounce, the Museum's annual summer block party series, on August 7th. The free event, presented in partnership with El Museo del Barrio, celebrates East Harlem at the top of Museum Mile and includes programming and entertainment for the whole family.
