Blue Man Group coming to Birmingham in UK exclusive - with video
World-renowned art company Blue Man Group will perform in Birmingham later this year.
Their Midland shows will be the only UK dates on their world tour - and this will be the first time the group has performed in the country since 2009.
The award-winning production, best known for its blue and bald performers, has been brought to the city by Town Hall and Symphony Hall Group and will take place at ICC Hall One.
Blue Man Group performances mix art, music, comedy and state-of- the-art technology to create a unique experience. Since its launch, the group has performed before more than 35 million people worldwide.
Get a feeling of what the group is about here:
Speaking ahead of the shows, Town Hall and Symphony Hall chief executive officer Nick Reed said: "It’s fantastic that we’ve been successful in bringing such a globally-renowned brand to Birmingham and these shows will once again cement the city’s place as world-class cultural centre.
"We were drawn to the vivid, celebratory nature of the show, which appeals to spectators of all ages and backgrounds.
"This is the first time in years that Blue Man Group will be on UK shores and it’s great to offer fans the chance to see these outstanding performers in action.”
Co-founder of the Blue Man Group, Phil Stanton, added: "Perhaps because we’ve always been interested in exploring our collective need for human connection, the Blue Man character seems to speak to so many people from all ages, cultures, nationalities.
"We believe the Blue Man’s universal message of joyful exuberance and euphoric celebration resonates within all of us."
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday.
The shows will run from December 28 to January 6.
