Stuck inside and feeling blue? Well, the performance artists known as Blue Man Group have the cure for you. Since 1987, blue clad performers have been entertaining audiences with a mixture of paint, drums and technological skits. The men are painted blue and are silent throughout the show with a lot to say about the world around them. They approach their environment with a curiosity that makes them interesting to watch, endearing and lovable.
Fans have kept their home at the Briar Street Theatre, 3133 N. Halsted, for many years with no end in sight, after a break during the pandemic. The brand has expanded all over the world, including New York City, Boston and Las Vegas. The cast doesn't need to speak other languages, so the concept can do well in other countries and has been in showing in Berlin, Germany since 2016. Blue Man Groups have appeared in Japan, Canada, Europe and Australia in the past, among many other locations.
