The good news for fans of The Blue Man Group is that the run of their tour has been extended! The wildly popular, award-winning global phenomenon is visiting South Africa for the first time as part of their 2017 World Tour. The acclaimed stage show, best known and recognised for its trio of bald and blue performers, travels to Cape Town and Johannesburg, organised by Big Concerts.
To date, over 35 million people in more than 15 countries have seen one of the various Blue Man Group productions. The new World Tour will showcase classic Blue Man favourites along with brand new content as they continually update and refresh their shows with new music, fresh stories, custom instruments and state-of-the-art technology.
Feel the Groove
Expect comedy, theatre, rock concert and dance party all rolled into one. But ultimately, music sets the tone, creates the mood, and guides the audience through the journey of the show. The Blue Men use no spoken language, so perhaps music is their form of communication. Or maybe the Blue Men just simply love to rock out. Blue Man Group are Grammy-nominated musicians who have collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Tiesto, Dave Matthews, Jill Scott and most recently, the Killers. On stage, Blue Man Group is accompanied by a live band whose tribal rhythms help drive the show to its unforgettable climax.
Uber artists
Blue Man Group was founded by three close friends Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton in New York in 1991. Since the group’s inception it has grown to include permanent shows in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Boston, Chicago and Berlin, as well as a North American Tour and a World Tour. Beyond the stage show, Blue Man Group has toured the globe with the Megastar World Tour rock concert parody, produced multiple albums, including the Grammy-nominated Audio, and the recently released Three. They published their first ever book, Blue Man World, in October this year.
CEO of Big Concerts, Justin Van Wyk says, “With no spoken language Blue Man Group is perfect for all ages, languages and cultures. It gives everyone the freedom to reconnect with their inner child, to re-experience mischievousness, sheer joy and to see what fun three guys can have with 30 litres of paint and 120 marshmallows in the space of an hour and a half!”
