Blue Man Group World Tour Heads Out to New Territo

Blue Man Group World Tour announces 14 new cities including Tel-Aviv, Zurich, Barcelona and more in 2017

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 12, 2017) - Blue Man Group is bringing audiences around the globe together for an unforgettable, euphoric celebration of life in full color with year two of the World Tour which began in Singapore in 2016. After performing in New Zealand, China, South Africa, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, fourteen new cities have been added for 2017.

Blue Man Group performances are a celebration of human connection. Mixing art, music, comedy and state-of-the-art technology, the show encourages audiences to reconnect with their inner (and outer) child and see the world through a new perspective. Three bald and blue men explore our cultural norms with wide-eyed wonder, poking fun at our collective quirks and reminding us how much we all have in common. Backed by a live rock band, the Blue Men unify the audience for the show's celebratory finale -- an unforgettable, euphoric dance party.

Blue Man Group is continually refreshed with new music, fresh stories and custom instruments and the World Tour is no exception.

"They say seeing is believing and observing them [Blue Man Group] in action at the Teatro, Montecasino, is a rare treat, an extraordinary journey where music, movement and striking examples of modern technology are brought to the boil and spilling over into an audience ready to accept something completely different," said Peter Feldmen of Artslink.co.az. who recently experienced the show in Johannesburg, South Africa on opening night.

Camillia Dass from Yahoo! Singapore writes, "With their vibrant energy and electrifying colours, the Blue Man Group took to the stage and blew the crowd away. Their thundering sound and otherworldly behaviour came together to form one of the most magical and heart stopping experiences that I have ever experienced."

"When we first began creating performances centered on this innocent, curious character called Blue Man, we never dreamt where he would lead us. It's exciting to see the places around the world where that show brings us. We believe the Blue Man's universal message of joyful exuberance and euphoric celebration resonates within all of us," said Blue Man Group Co-founder, Chris Wink.
