GALA OPENING TONIGHT
It’s not just a show,
it’s a state of mind.
AUCKLAND NOW – 5 June
WELLINGTON 7 – 19 June
CHRISTCHURCH 21 June – 3 July
The international entertainment phenomenon, BLUE MAN GROUP has arrived in New Zealand.
Wild scenes were enjoyed at the preview performance at The Civic in Auckland last night and celebrities and VIPS will
make their way along the "blue carpet" tonight to enjoy this wildly popular, award-winning production for the very first
time in New Zealand as part of a new world tour.
BLUE MAN GROUP is comedy, theatre, rock concert and dance party all rolled into one. The BLUE MAN GROUP theatrical tour showcases classic Blue Man favourites, along with brand new content. Celebrating their 25th year of
creativity, this artistic group is continually updating and refreshing Blue Man shows with new music, fresh stories,
custom instruments and state-of-the-art technology.
BLUE MAN GROUP creates experiences that defy categorization, taking the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually
stunning, culminating in the trademark Blue Man Group finale in a blissful party atmosphere.
BLUE MAN GROUP is accompanied by a live band whose tribal rhythms help drive the show to its unforgettable climax.
Having performed their first show 25 years ago, to date, over 35 million people across 15 countries have seen one of the
various BLUE MAN GROUP productions.
BLUE MAN GROUP was founded by three close friends Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton in New York in 1991, and has grown to
include permanent shows in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Boston, Chicago and Berlin, as well as a touring production in
North America. In 2016, the BLUE MAN GROUP theatrical tour will embark on a World Tour. Beyond the stage show, BLUE MAN GROUP has toured the globe with the ‘Megastar World Tour’ rock concert parody, produced five albums, including the Grammy-nominated Audio, and contributed to numerous film and TV scores. They’ve also appeared in several commercials and hit TV shows.
Mr Cundall adds, “With no spoken language BLUE MAN GROUP is perfect for all ages, languages and cultures. It gives everyone the freedom to reconnect with their inner child, to
re-experience mischievousness and sheer joy, and see what fun three guys can have with 30 litres of paint and 55
mashed-up bananas in the space of an hour and a half!”
BLUE MAN GROUP is brought to New Zealand by Blue Man Productions Ltd, and Lunchbox Theatrical Productions Ltd.
BLUE MAN GROUP – it’s not just a show, it’s a state of mind.
