(eap) After three years the iconic Blue Man Group, which is part of Cirque du Soleil since 2017, is returning to Orlando (USA) with its own venue. Having already played shows at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal CityWalk from 2007 to 2021, the group, who true to their name perform blue-masked with an accompanying band, will now have their own show building in Orlando’s Icon Park.
“There is no greater world stage than Orlando for exciting family fun, making it a natural choice as a home base for Blue Man Group,” said Jack Kenn, Managing Director of Blue Man Group. “Our fans are eager for the Blue Men to be part of their Orlando vacations, and our creative team is thrilled to create a new type of experience that is even more immersive and personalized to Orlando.”
The new theatre at Icon Park will have a total of 500 seats. It will also be specially designed for the Blue Man Group’s multi-sensory performances and equipped with state-of-the-art acoustics, lighting and video technology to offer the audience a unique experience.
“Icon Park will roll out the blue carpet to welcome Blue Man Group back into our ‘unbelievably real’ destination,” said Icon Park President and CEO Chris Jaskiewicz. “With their unique blend of creative energy and entertainment, they are a perfect fit with the world-famous entertainment brands here at Icon Park, and we look forward to the Blue Men becoming ambassadors for our entire destination.”
The new Blue Man Group location in Icon Park is currently in the planning phase and approval process, with the aim of opening at the end of this year. ■
