BLUE MAN GROUP Theatrical Tour Stops at Omaha’s Orpheum January 17 – 22

NETworks Presentations, LLC and Blue Man Productions are bringing Blue Man Group's new theatrical touring production to Omaha's Orpheum Theater Tuesday, January 17 through Sunday, January 22, 2012. Blue Man Group is being presented locally by Omaha Performing Arts and Broadway Across America as part of the Broadway Series.

Tickets for Blue Man Group start at $20 and are available online at TicketOmaha.com; by phone at 402.345.0606 or at the Ticket Omaha office in the Holland Performing Arts Center, 13 th and Douglas streets, Omaha, NE.

Although Blue Man Group has toured previously with its Megastar arena rock show, the theatrical production coming to Omaha's Orpheum Theater marks Blue Man's 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 on 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's 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. 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."
