What began downtown in 1991 grew into a wildly popular New York staple seen by more than 50 million people worldwide. The original off-Broadway show ran for 33 years at the Astor Place Theatre, closing in February 2025.
“This production marks two exciting milestones: Blue Man Group’s first-ever holiday production as well as its Broadway debut,” said Marie-Josée Adam, President and CEO of Blue Man Group, in a statement. “This is exactly how we envisioned the iconic trio would re-enter the New York marketplace: with a brand-new show packed with holiday fun, unexpected surprises, and a few twists that only Blue Man could pull off. We can’t wait to welcome a whole new generation of families into the Blue Man world for an unforgettable and wonderfully unpredictable holiday experience.”
“A New Holiday Surprise” will feature classic holiday music performed on Blue Man Group’s custom instruments, while following the Blue Men as they discover the traditions, rituals and joyful absurdities of the holidays with, of course, a few unexpected detours along the way. As they navigate the season, they explore timeless themes of generosity, presence, creativity and human connection. This all new Blue Man experience offers audiences a unique holiday tradition that celebrates what brings us together and proves that holiday traditions don’t always have to go according to plan.
