BLUE MAN GROUP theatrical tour to visit

THE FOX THEATRE in ST. LOUIS from November 20 to December 2

 

First-ever theatrical tour promises new material

and classic moments

 

October 11, 2012 (St. Louis)  – NETworks Presentations, LLC and Blue Man Productions are pleased to announce a new theatrical touring production will visit St. Louis from November 20 to December 2. Tickets are on sale now at the Fox Box Office, metrotix.com or by calling 314-534-1111.

 

The theatrical tour features brand new content highlighted by classic Blue Man favorites.

 

The new sound, set, and video design centering around a proscenium-sized LED curtain and high-resolution screen create an entirely new, high-impact visual experience for Broadway houses across the nation.

 

The critically acclaimed Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorization. Blue Man Group is best known for multi-media performances that feature three bald and blue characters who take the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually stunning. A live band, whose haunting tribal rhythms help drive the show to its climax, accompanies the  Blue Men.

 

"In order to create a touring version of our theatrical production, we knew we had a creative challenge to tackle,” says Blue Man Group Co-Founder Philip Stanton.  “We needed to find a way to transform theatres of all shapes and sizes into spaces in which the Blue Man can intimately connect with the audience, where the audience can become engaged with the spirit of the show and the Blue Man himself.  We think we have finally figured it out, and hopefully we will accomplish our goal, which is always to help audience members reconnect with their own sense of wonder and discovery, with their own sense of what is possible in their lives."

 

Performances of Blue Man Group run from November 20 - December 2. Performance times are Tuesday – Saturday evenings at 8pm; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2pm and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. There is a matinee Thursday, November 29 at 1pm. There is no performance on Thanksgiving. To purchase tickets, visit metrotix.com, call 314-534-1111 or visit the Fox Box Office.

The Fabulous Fox Theatre is located in Grand Center at 527 N. Grand Blvd.  Blue Man Group is part of the 2012-2013 U.S. Bank Broadway Series and is sponsored locally by American Airlines.
