BWW Review: BLUE MAN GROUP is A Party Not To Be Missed

BLUE MAN GROUP is not your average stage show. BLUE MAN GROUP is a strange, zany, comical, and surreal experience. How do you describe the indescribable? Its not a musical, its not a play, its an experience. While performance art comes closest to categorizing them, what an audience experiences is really a unique communal party. Formed in 1991, BLUE MAN GROUP is best known for their creative stage productions around the world.
BWW Interviews: Kalen Allmandinger and Patrick Newton of BLUE MAN GROUP at Tennessee Performing Arts Center

Whether or not you are a sports fan for either of the professional Nashville sports teams, I'd like to be the first to prepare you for a possible sighting of a man or two performing off-Broadway with blue paint on their faces. However, these blue men aren't playing by the same rules. Let me just state the obvious, the Tennessee Titans have absolutely nothing on the Blue Man Group (BMG) returning to Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center with a new theatrical touring production. For this week only, the entirely new, high-impact visual performance will wow Nashvillians like never before in Andrew Jackson Hall. Here at BroadwayWorld Nashville, we had the chance to interview not one but two touring Blue Man professionals.
BWW Reviews: Engaging and Fun BLUE MAN GROUP at the Peabody Opera House

I've seen BLUE MAN GROUP live quite a few times, and on this particular occasion I brought along my son for his second go around with the show. What's appealing to me is that there's still a freshness about their performances, even if a lot of the bits are familiar, such as: the camera tour down an audience member's throat, the snarky message board, the various rock poses, etc. There's certainly no denying the fact that they continually draw large, enthusiastic crowds. The current production that played the Peabody Opera House (April 25-27) provided a cool evening's entertainment, for fans and newbies alike.
