The Blue Man
is every man. That’s what the Blue Man Group’s creative team says is the secret to their success and one of the
main elements that makes the show so universally popular. Puck Quinn, creative
director of character development and appearances, says, “The show deals with
topics and issues that are common to every culture: communication, sensory
overload, beating music and heavy rhythm, dancing… We have things that we want
to say.” But Quinn quickly adds, “But we don’t care if you don’t want to hear
it. We just want everyone to have fun.”
Blue Man Group’s run at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton October 9-14 will feature some of the most famous Blue
Man elements, but for the 17 million people who have seen Blue Man Group
worldwide, there’s plenty of new material on this first theatrical tour. Phil
Stanton, co-founder of Blue Man with Goldman and Chris Wink says, “Some pieces
have evolved a lot more for the tour,” and he adds that technology has a big
role to play in the new production.
It has been
said that no one knows how to make an inspired mess like Blue Man Group, and if you’re in the first few rows, be prepared to
don a poncho. “It’s all about connection,” according to Goldman, and sometimes,
that means with paint. “We believe that we’re all creative beings, and
creativity can look a lot of different ways.”
