TAMPA — Blue Man Group will take the stage for several shows, running Jan. 16-18, in Morsani Hall at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. MacInnes Place, Tampa.
Tickets start at $33.40. Visit strazcenter.org.
The name Blue Man Group tells you who you’ll see — three men with skin painted blue — but doesn’t tell you what you’ll see, which would require a much longer name. Art, music, comedy and nonverbal communication are among the tools the aforementioned cerulean trio use in a performance that celebrates connections with people and the world around us.
Since debuting at New York’s Astor Place Theatre in 1991, the live show has expanded to additional domestic residencies in Boston, Chicago, and Las Vegas, an international residency in Berlin, and multiple North American and world tours, reaching more than 35 million people worldwide.
Blue Man Group appeals to a broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds. It is owned and operated by Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.
