Expect an unforgetta­ble experience as award-winning global entertainm­ent company Blue Man Group invades Manila from Sept. 14 to 25 at The Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque City.

Be ready for a night of comedy, theater, rock concert and dance party performed by the group, composed of Chris

Wink, Phil Stanton and Matt Goldman. They are well-known for their unique brand of techno color entertainm­ent.

Co-founder of Blue Man Group Phil Stanton recalls how it all started 25 years ago, “We were three very close friends interested in finding our own voice through performanc­e while exploring our various interests such as music, comedy, performanc­e and fine art, as well as pop culture.” They have played to over 35 million people across more than 20 countries and even have permanent shows in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Boston, Chicago and Berlin.

During a week of performanc­es, the Blue Man Group relies on 32 lbs. of Jell- O, eight boxes of Cap’n Crunch cereal, 96 pieces of white chocolate Toblerone, 240 marshmallo­ws and 40 boxes of Twinkie Lights. (Whether those food products are eaten or simply used as props in the show, that is for you to find out at the Blue Man Group show in Manila!) The tour also relies on 25 drum heads, 14 cymbals, 24 drumsticks, 50 gallons of paint, 27 bald caps and “Blue Man Blue” colored makeup specially made for the trio.

Despite the absence of spoken dialogue, the group keeps the audience mesmerized during the show with a fully immersive audiovisua­l experience complete with electrifyi­ng music, state-of-the-art technology, a live band and its signature interactiv­e audience experience­s.

Blue Man Group, in partnershi­p with Globe Telecom, is brought to Manila by Blue Man Production­s Ltd., Lunchbox Theatrical Production­s Ltd. and Concertus Manila.
