The
show — made up of nonverbal blue-painted bald men who combine
intricate percussive rhythms with physical comedy — announced
this week that performances are closing in Chicago and New York
City, where the group first launched in 1991. The men still have
shows in Las Vegas; Orlando, Florida; Boston; and Berlin, along
with a tour and a show on the Norwegian Cruise Line ship.
Managing Director Jack Kenn said the final gig in New York will
be Feb. 2 and the last Chicago performance will be Jan. 5.
Extensions often are added after such deadlines.
“Blue Man Group is unlike anything else in the world and is
undeniably one of the most recognized and successful
entertainment productions because of the hardworking cast, crew
and creative team. It was because of them that these shows
captured millions of hearts night after night, and we give our
utmost thanks,” Kenn said.
Blue Man Group is currently part of the global circus giant
Cirque du Soleil.
