Blue Man Group Productions
In its thirteenth year now at the Astor Palace Theatre in New York, the Blue Man Group continues to entertain and amaze audiences with their signature, often-gross, sometimes painful-looking but always-funny entertainment. In the simplest of terms, they have established the central message conveyed by the show, and indeed of the Group itself. What is art? What is commerce? And how do we define the line between the two?
That Blue Man Group, which has clearly outgrown its origins in Ellie Covan's Dixon Place living room to become a major entertainment enterprise of which other downtown artists can only be envious, is a commercial success cannot be denied. What's remarkable is the extent to which it has remained art in the truest sense of the term. While Blue Man Group is a rollicking good time, it neither shies away from, nor hides behind, its cultural aspirations, even after it has come to depend on busload after busload of tourists.
