Blue Man Group sets Orlando return for next spring
Blue Man Group’s new Orlando show will debut April 3, the company announced Tuesday.
Tickets are now on sale for the production, which will take place in a to-be-built theater near the base of the Orlando Eye at Icon Park on International Drive. The space will seat 578 audience members, and it will be the first Blue Man home built from the ground up.
Show ticket prices range between $59 and $104 per person, depending on seating level. There are discounts for children between ages 3 and 9 in some seating categories. The schedule has matinee and evening performances for three or four days of the week through 2025, with single shows on Sundays and Tuesdays. The show is dark on most Mondays.
Blue Man performances typically include nontraditional instruments and percussion, electronic music with speechless, comical, blue-skinned bald performers and the occasional marshmallow. The ensemble started in New York City in the 1980s and now has continuing shows in Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, London, Berlin and Shanghai as well as international tours.
Blue Man says additional packages for the Orlando production will be made available later, including combo attraction offers, dinner and show packages, meet and greets and VIP experiences.
The Icon Park theater was announced in June with an initial goal of shows by the end of 2024, and there was a groundbreaking ceremony in September. The theater will be on the Universal Boulevard side of the complex, wedged between the road and observation wheel. A Blue Man retail outlet is already operating elsewhere at Icon Park.
Blue Man Group spent 14 years at Universal Orlando. Production shut down in 2020 as the pandemic took hold. The show was officially shuttered in 2021. Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group has owned Blue Man Productions since 2017. Cirque operates the “Drawn to Life” show at Disney Springs.
