On Saturday 5th August 2023, Chicago Illinois will be the hottest town on this side of the country when the illustrious Briar Street Theatre brings the world famous performance arts company, and winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Awards' Audience Choice Award for Best Long-Running Show The Blue Man Group to their stage! The first public appearance by this group was a celebration of the end of the 1980s. The three men wore blue masks and led a street procession that included the burning of a Rambo doll and a piece of the Berlin Wall. Since then, the show has gone on to please audiences for over 3 decades with their unique and truly one of a kind style. But the big question is, will you be there to see it live?

When it comes to eclectic performance art, you can’t think of a better example than Blue Man Group. Every one of their performances features custom built instruments including the Drumbone and Paint Drums, quirky performances about topics relevant to modern day audiences, and an unmistakable style that you can’t find anywhere else. It might be hard to imagine that such a world-wide performance group ever had a humble origin, especially when Cirque Du Soleil purchased the Blue Man Group as part of their family. But it all began in the late 1980s with three friends performing ‘public disturbances’ and street shows. These first shows celebrated the spirit of the 80s with burnings of Rambo dolls and pieces regarding the Berlin Wall and MTV’s Kurt Loder. Ever since then, Blue Man Group has kept their show relevant by talking about the latest events and phenomenons of modern day culture, including the Internet. It’s this timelessness that keeps Blue Man Group a popular show for theatre-goers everywhere.
