Beat The Heat With BLUE MAN GROUP Expanded Summer Performance Schedule At Chicago's Briar Street Theatre

Blue Man Group, continuing its open run at Chicago's Briar Street Theatre (3133 N. Halsted), will welcome the summer season with a robust performance schedule in June, July and August. The expanded Chicago schedule will provide audiences of all ages with the opportunity to beat the heat and make colorful and lasting memories this summer.

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 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 climax - an unforgettable, euphoric dance party. A full summer performance schedule is outlined below.
