Did You Know'''Blue Man Group''' ('''Blue Man''', '''BMG''') is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint and wear latex bald caps and black clothing. Blue Man Group's theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a "poncho section" of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which are thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are family-oriented, humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall; for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.
History
Beginnings
Friends Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton (collectively referred to as CMP) formed Blue Man Group in 1988. CMP worked as caterers for Glorious Foods in Manhattan, New York. CMP were the Blue Men as others (Caryl Glaab) worked on sound, light, stage, etc. They began appearing on the streets in Blue Man regalia, performing for passersby and staging unusual events such as ''The Funeral for the 80s'', in 1987,[Stephen Holden, , ''New York Times'', January 25, 1991] and doing short bits as part of the underground cabarets of Tom Murrin, ''The Alien Comic'', in "The CLUB" at La MaMa Experimental Theater Club. Shortly after it opened, ''The New York Times'' critic Stephen Holden reviewed the La Mama show, calling it a "deliriously antic blend of music, painting and clowning".[Vicki Goldberg, , ''New York Times'', November 17, 1991]
Meryl Vladimer, the Artistic Director of The CLUB, saw their work and commissioned Blue Man Group to create a full-length show. The resulting piece, TUBES, took off after Vladimer persuaded Holden to review it. Blue Man Group's popularity continued to snowball, eventually winning CMP an Obie Award and a Lucille Lortel Award, which led producers to take the show to off-Broadway. TUBES opened in 1991 at the Astor Place Theater.[Lola Ogunnaike, , ''New York Times'', October 10, 2005]
Blue Man Group won a special citation in the 1990-1991 ''Village Voice'' Obie Awards[, retrieved December 23, 2007] and a special award in the 1992 Lucille Lortel Awards, which are for excellence in off-Broadway theatre.[, retrieved December 23, 2007]
