Blue Man Group – Hard to Describe. Easy to Love.

The show runs approximately 90 to 105 minutes with no intermission.

During the Blue Man Group performance, materials sometimes splatter off of the stage. We call this “The poncho section,” because we provide disposable plastic ponchos for audience members to wear if they prefer. You will not get “wet,” but you may be splashed with materials. All materials are washable, but we suggest you wear your poncho and comfortable washable clothing that does not need dry cleaning.

Blue Man Group performances are euphoric celebrations of human connection through art, music, comedy and non-verbal communication. Since the Blue Men don’t speak, Blue Man Group is universally appealing to a broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds.

Late patrons are seated at the discretion of the management at a time when seating will not interrupt the show.
