Blue Man Group: Uncovered

A profile of the Men behind the Blue.

[@myNAMEisPATBACK]

When I was little I went to go see their show in New York. When the strobe lights started flashing with the toilet paper, I ran out into the isles and they picked me up, smiled and took me back to my family. It was pretty cool.

[@antdude]

+myNAMEisPATBACK Wait, why did you run off? Scared?

[@MarcDufour35]

Went to see the show in Boston back in August and it was by far the best show i have seen, it even tops the 8 Cirque du Soleil shows i attended.

[@bdk4523]

They put me up on the stage for the end of the show skit! It was amazing! They really have something special and will be around for a while!

[@projectdelta50]

Just saw them last night and it was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life

[@mr2nbmag]

That was neat! I have seen them twice in LV and this reveal was done very well. We took our son to see them about 7 years ago (then about 16 yrs old) and he was WOW'd by the show. Definitely worth taking a child who has musical aspirations.

[@tarheelgirl641]

i saw them in las veges last year live they are awsome i wished it never ended one of them actualy came up in my face during the show and shuk my hand and at the end i got a pic with them and there band

[@drandall1776]

If memory serves me, the title of that first tune is "It's Time To Start," from their DVD of the tour called "How To Be A MegaStar 2.0" I've seen it twice and it IS A HOOT ! ! Go see 'em if you can ! ! !

This is from Wikipedia: The original founding Blue Men still perform in Italy, but they have since then taken on administrative roles in the company. Because of the success of Blue Man Group, a parent company called Blue Man Productions was created, which produces all the Blue Man Group shows in the world. It currently has a staff of over 50 people.

[@cinderblockstudios]

True musical artists!

[@snubbyj]

that was so cool! loved the clip of pvc iv! thanks for sharing ;-)

[@ABLE0815]

oh come on ... NATIONWIDE ... the blueman group is a INTERNATIONAL COMPANY ... indeed doin a fu***** great show

[@mledur]

The first one is gorgeous.

[@DoEverythingDerek]

Right from wikipedia, there are over 50 blue men "All of the organization's appearances star a trio of performers called Blue Men, who appear to have blue skin and no voice, hair, or ears. The original founding Blue Men no longer perform and have since taken on administrative roles in the company. Because of the success of Blue Man Group, a parent company called Blue Man Productions was created, which produces all the Blue Man Group shows in the world. It currently has a staff of over 50 people"

[@snubbyj]

Nope, there are around 80 blue men performing around the world. The 3 originals don't go bald and blue as often, but are still very active in maintaining the whole group.

[@snubbyj]

Well...you could say that the "light thing" they are doing is called "Wands" because that's the name of the skit.

[@amieshawn1]

There are many many blue men. They perform different venues in different states and countries all on the same day same time.

[@MetalxXxMayhem]

Oh no, these guys are the performers. Did you not watch the whole video? They tell you they had to train to PERFORM.

[@Noble-Nova]

I'VE WANTED TO KNOW MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD WHAT THE BLUE MAN GROUP GUYS LOOKED LIKE UNMASKED. My life is complete.

[@mattgreen3785]

Always fun to find people with close names to you

[@AustraliaFare09]

@Monk3yman77 Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by Chris Wink, Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton and Phil's brother Matt Stanton. All of the organization's appearances star a trio of performers called Blue Men. The original founding Blue Men have since taken on administrative roles in the company. Due to their popularity, a parent company called Blue Man Productions was created, which produces all the Blue Man Group shows in the world. It currently has a staff of over 50 people.

[@nikteok18]

Blue man is a company(I mean they have meny artist who can do the same thing)good thing to get more many with more grups.

[@thewhitedude11]

because these "weirdos" are an insporation to percussionists world wide!!! and there my heros!

[@missd1954]

Weirdos?? I encourage you to buy their Complex Live CD. If you like (love) music at all - you will be enthralled!! WOW!!!!

[@calvinh.5265]

Yes and at every city, where they are are 6 Blue Man. If anybody gets ill.

[@errOHneoS]

There's actually like 9 different Blue Men performing different skits on a show.

[@samis1bigboy]

@col000in they are from new york and these three guys are the ones that are doing the standard show in new york while the original 3 are on tour and doing other stuff but they are originally from new york

[@aznxmaster2]

saw these guys in Boston on a school trip =]

[@GotekSC]

Anyone who saw the stationary show noticed the subliminal fries ad in the scene at 2:20 with the explanation of the illusion of animation?

[@popsnacks2]

chris wink taught my dad how to play drums

[@GanzTagGamer]

@Monk3yman77 yes, the original blue "men's" are: Phil Stanton, Chris Wink and Matt Goldman. here is the original Blue Man Group: /watch?v=3liOcArANrA (The translation is in german.)

[@MKhrome]

@hockeytaint22 The ones you see outside of Vegas are not the original three, but there's always only 3 in any given performance. You should look at it more than there's only 3 "blue men" rather than performers.

[@popsnacks2]

@Monk3yman77 yes...chris wink also taught my father how to play drums at Wesleyan college in CT

[@SoundGuyDavo]

wait, it hasn't always been the same 3 guys all along. question mark.

[@gounderusbyMichaelTomlins]

@ACEMonkey4 BRILLIANT observation! haha - thumbs up!

[@missd1954]

What does being American have to do with loving their music?!

[@MaffoGodLike]

@Monk3yman77 yes but they aren't the only blue men. in the blue men group. there is alot of blue men but only 3 at the time on the shows.

[@krockodilen]

But i like the genius idea about blue man group and i like it.

[@smcmara12]

ANyone know the one of the song in the beginning, or whats the name if its only made by the Blue mEn? Hella cool song! Thanks alot

[@shakky44]

these are the real people, just saw them last night

[@pammarens]

I immediately had to think of Einstürzende Neubauten

[@RideTTD2003]

there are many more blue man groups, this one is the Orlando group

[@UniverseKeeper2]

~flipping~ ~peace~

[@JordanBahrPian-UkePlayer]

@Monk3yman77 I think the three are the CREATORS of the Blue Man Group, not the performers.

[@thewhitedude11]

amen missd, amen

[@MetalxXxMayhem]

Screw the 4th wall!! You don't make any real connection if its there, unless the story of a play or something is just completely riveting, otherwise, screw a 4th wall.

[@RIP_Sloucher]

@Monk3yman77 I think the people you named are the creaters, not the actors.

[@SethMBurrow]

Its a latex bald cap and blue grease paint.

[@trec1080]

@Monk3yman77 there are dozens of blue men. Once you're trained you're trained.

[@red13emerald]

@Monk3yman77 there are not only 3 Blue Men. there different Blue Man Groups spread over the whole world

[@missd1954]

the "weirdos" are the ones who don't appreciate these guys!!!

[@xXJessicaRobinxX]

@Monk3yman77 there is more than 3 of them. its not the same ones every single time.

[@TTTac]

The few the proud The Blue Man Group

[@dew-drop]

Aren't the original blue men Phil Stanton, Chris Wink and Matt Goldman?

[@missd1954]

By the way - does anyone know who played the group for the Complex Tour??

[@DodgyMan12]

The Blue Man Group started in New York.

[@tlkness]

it would be cool to be one of them and just ask people what they think about the blue man group

[@cgurl1012]

how many people have portrayed the Blue Men this entire time?

[@krockodilen]

I would like to see them putting on their masks and than comare the result with an original picture of the blue man group.

[@MetalxXxMayhem]

@jjkaraokepro Nope, these are them. Did you not watch the whole video? They tell you they had to train to get on stage.

[@popsnacks2]

@ZergSc2 not even kidding Chris wink taught my dad at Wesleyan University in Connecticut . They taught in the tunnels beneath Wesleyan in the sound proof rooms. my dad can tell chris from any other blueman because of the shape of his head because he saw him so many times. Chris also performs at the Aster theater in NYC. and plus why would i joke about that anyway.

[@CCluvsAG]

I CAN DIE IN FLIPPIN PIECE!

[@RonnieRocker]

I'm confused. There seem to be more than one Blue Man Group...

[@aopaul]

There are no 'real' blue men, per se. It's an artistic concept that defies cultures, races and genders. Anyone fitting the height requirement and have drum skills to make a homogeneous trio can try out to be one. This fform of mime work will survive the original creators long into the future.

[@BigBoy061084]

there is..there some in europe,tokyo,usa

[@alamanjar]

oh my god... first guy = johnny storm...

[@euniqua74]

I want to be a pink gal! LOL

[@vhan75]

[@missd1954]

did he do the complex tour??

[@missd1954]

you tell him!!!!!!!

[@yawzer123]

[@ACEMonkey4]

Its weird two out of the three guys have last names that are colors and Neither are BLUE

[@walapera1]

Are the SMURFS part of this group?

[@Eddieost0309]

@AustraliaFare09 wait so theres 2 blue man groups?

[@neoprower777]

@Monk3yman77 i think they founded the blue man group, their not actually the blue men

[@AutomaticWeezyKeepOn]

@Monk3yman77 yes they are

[@ollegoop9]

@Monk3yman77 maybe there is two pair

[@BlueManSamNYC]

They play in boston

[@nevek20]

@Monk3yman77 yes

[@remyisxtc]

These are the real blue man...Not orignal blue man....its an organization not just three dudes.....

[@madmanadam1]

@Monk3yman77 there are bout 300 different blue men dude xD all for different shows, gigs, concerts, blah blah blah which is why they said they were blue men not the actual group themselves :P The real group would be doing the bigass stuff that mean something :D

[@Dephire]

@jjkaraokepro yes.. because everyone knows the blue man group are not humans

[@Fragacide]

Come back and try that statement again when you're sober, eh?

[@lappe18AS]
