Maybe so; they are certainly easy to love. Three bald and blue men have been exploring the world onstage since their debut at New York's Astor Place Theatre in 1991; they bring music, comedy and surprises at every turn. The Harris Center is proud to present Blue Man Group in their new tour, 'Speechless,' for eight shows. It's a guaranteed good time. Blue Man Group is a global entertainment phenomenon, known for its award-winning theatrical productions, iconic characters and multiple creative explorations. 'Speechless' officially opened Sept. 24, at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. Under the helm of visionary director Jenny Koons, in her first-time collaboration with Blue Man Group, the world-renowned bald and blue trio embark on a fresh journey of discovery. 'Speechless' features new and original compositions, invented instruments and unexpected situations alongside iconic Blue Man Group moments based in joy, art, music, comedy, social commentary and profound absurdity. Jenny Koons is a New York-based director who comes to Blue Man Group having recently completed productions of 'Between Us: The Deck of Cards' with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' with The Public Theater Mobile Unit, 'The Tempest' with The Juilliard School, and 'Burn All Night' with the American Repertory Theatre. Described as "euphoric celebrations of human connection through art, music, comedy and non-verbal communication," the live show has expanded to residencies in Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas and Orlando, an international residency in Berlin, and multiple North American and World tours, reaching more than 35 million people worldwide.
