ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 9, 2006) – Blue Man
Group, the wildly successful live entertainment experience is coming to
Universal Orlando Resort, opening June 2007.
The arrival of Blue Man Group – which will permanently occupy a newly
created live performance venue accessible from both Universal CityWalk

entertainment for Universal Orlando theme park guests and Florida
residents.
The unique style of Blue Man entertainment has been experienced by more
than 10 million people worldwide. They have entertained audiences of all
ages with their live stage shows, their touring rock concert, television
programming and albums.
And now, Blue Man Group will bring their live show to Universal Orlando
Resort. The show will combine music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to
create the blissful party atmosphere that is a Blue Man Group trademark.
“Universal Orlando constantly seeks out fresh, innovative entertainment
experiences for its guests,” said Tom Williams, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer for Universal Parks and Resorts. “Blue Man Group is a
natural partner for us. Their presence at Universal Orlando will change
the live entertainment landscape for all of Central Florida.”
“Universal Orlando goes above and beyond any theme park, creating cool,
stimulating experiences for their guests. And people come to the park
looking for a great time and knowing they are going to have their minds
blown by top quality rides and entertainment-- it’s the perfect place
for a Blue Man show,” said Blue Man Group Co-founder Chris Wink.
Blue Man Group will perform from a specially created theater at
Universal Studios. The building once housed Nickelodeon Studios and is
being re-designed as a 1,000-seat theater complete with its own box
office. The Blue Man Group show is being custom-designed for Universal
Orlando and will include elements of the group’s existing shows as well
as newly created material.

and the recording of three albums; the Grammy nominated Audio, The
Complex, which became the musical basis for The Complex Rock Tour, and

television programs (like the recurring storyline in “Arrested
Development”). As the company grows, it remains true to its vision of
providing exciting experiences in a variety of media, which appeal to a
broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds.
