Blue Man Group at Briar Street Theater

The Blue Man Group began in the late 1980s with eight men covering their faces with cerulean masks and a tomb containing a assemblage of decade signets. This “Funeral for the 80s” would ignite the group’s nativity, as the performers involved incinerated the hallmarks. While most original members took diverging paths, Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman would become the collective’s most steadfast members. 

They put together additional street performances that examined similar conceptual subjects, acquiring a reputation throughout Manhattan. Eventually, the trio extended their coordinations to hole-in-the-wall theaters. The group expanded in 1991 to include an understudy performer who could mime, drum, and embody the group’s core archetypes of innocence, heroism, shaman, trickster, and scientist. 

The Blue Man Group became an smashing modern hit throughout the 90s, releasing original studio albums that acquired growing interest. They also performed at more more popular places in the early 2000s, accruing popularity for their ever-changing immersive entertainment and revolutionary performance techniques.

Their multimedia storytelling devices made them an in-demand act across the world and on television screens. The group appeared on popular TV shows like Arrested Development. Their long-standing performance run proves they are not just a blast from the past. They are a contemporary influence on all fronts of the performance art scene.
