Blue Man Group to end New York run after three decades off-Broadway

NEW YORK - Blue Man Group, the wordless theatrical troupe of drumbeating, paint-splattering, bald blue performers, will end its run in New York on Feb 2, more than three decades and 17,000 performances after it began.

The troupe, which started as experimental street theatre and is now a subsidiary of global circus behemoth Cirque du Soleil, will also end its Chicago run on Jan 5.

But the show will continue to run elsewhere, with long-running companies in Berlin, Boston and Las Vegas, and a forthcoming run in Orlando, Florida, where it is scheduled to reopen in April 2025 after a four-year closure prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
