[WATCH] Blue Man Group: A closer look

MANILA, Philippines – There’s nothing quite like the Blue Man Group’s act, a theater and visual effects show, concert, and comedy all rolled into one.

The 3 titular Blue Men interact with their audience bringing them onstage, taking selfies, and even feeding them.

Some might think it’s a little strange because the Blue Men are, well, blue and they don’t talk either. But it all helps bring out their viewers’ sense of wonder and curiosity.

They speak in other ways too, through their actions – and their music.

The Blue Men use instruments unique to the production invented in-house to suit their needs.

The PVCs – a set of color-coded pipes played by 3 people – have been around since the first shows in 1991, while things like The Backpack and the Drum Bone were added later on.

The Backpack is another set of pipes with lights moving through them, and there are usually two of these glowing, many-armed creature in a show on opposite ends of the stage.

The Drum Bone is a trombone and drum in one, with two parts that can each be played on their own drummed on together, or attached to and played all together.

They’re backed by a band too, and while those guys don’t play Blue Man instruments, their instruments aren’t too common either – an electric zither and a chapman stick, along with a drum kit and percussion rig.

The band has the best seat in the house – they have to see what’s going on to be able to adjust.

Together, the band, Blue Men, and lights show work to create a feast for the senses, a high-energy, colorful show for anyone young or old.
