BLUE IS BACK, ORLANDO!

Blue Man Group announced details of their return to Orlando with a paint-filled groundbreaking ceremony on the future site of their new home at ICON Park, the popular 20-acre entertainment destination of world-renowned attractions, dining and nightlife located in Orlando’s rapidly growing Universal Boulevard region.

The three iconic Blue Men and company executives from the global entertainment phenomenon kicked off development and shared details of their coming Orlando presence. In their uniquely energetic and colorful style, the Blue Men crashed the groundbreaking to announce that “Blue is Back,” with help from the destination’s Mayor Jerry Demings and tourism officials.

Blue Man Group is adding two new experiences to ICON Park, one for entertainment and one for retail, that will welcome visitors on opposite sides of its 20-acre footprint.

• Blue Man Theater: Blue Man Group’s new and custom-built 578-seat theater will be built in its entirety, from the ground up, and located at ICON Park’s Universal Boulevard entrance. The theater will be specially designed for Blue Man Group’s multi-sensory performances through state-of-the-art audio, lighting, video and technology.
• New Orlando show: The new Orlando show will feature both new scenes and classic favorites. Blue Man Group’s unique blend of high-energy live music, creative art, and comedic audience interactions will leave guests surprised, awed and connected.

The new theater is currently in development, anticipated to open in late 2024.

• Blue Man Store: On the opposite side of ICON Park, a new vibrant-themed retail store is also now open. Adorned with colorful props and musical instruments from other Blue Man Group shows, the store is the perfect spot for photo ops, and shopping for exclusive Blue Man merchandise finds. The new store is located between Blake Shelton’s Ole Red venue and Brother Jimmy’s BBQ in ICON Park.

“We could not be more excited about our new show in Orlando and our custom-built theater at ICON Park,” said Jack Kenn, Managing Director of Blue Man Group. “ICON Park is the perfect fit for our new home since we both share a passion for creating world-class entertainment, unique experiences and bringing people together.”

ICON Park President and CEO Chris Jaskiewicz leads ICON Park’s growth strategy of recruiting quality live entertainment, attraction, and restaurant experiences.

“We have great attractions, restaurants and bars, and live music, and we are thrilled that our first live show will be Blue Man Group, which is globally known and loved because it engages guests of all ages and nationalities with high-energy entertainment with no language barrier.”
