Press Release

At Blue Man Group’s Japan Tour, audiences will rock, laugh and party as three bald and blue characters explore the world and discover music, comedy, and surprises at every turn.

Blue Man Group’s Japan Tour showcases classic Blue Man favorites along with brand new content. In addition to the three traditional Blue Men, the Japan Tour will include the powerful performance of a rock band, which will bring a whole new experience from the 2022 tour.

Co-founder Chris Wink says, ‘When we first began creating performances centered on this innocent, curious character called Blue Man, we never dreamt where he would lead us. We are so honored to be able to share our show with the people of Japan and beyond.

“We are so excited to announce Blue Man Group’s Japan Tour,” said Jack Kenn, Managing Director of Blue Man Group. “Since the acquisition by Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man Group has expanded its creative power and global distribution opportunities, enabling us to deliver the show to new audiences around the world. With no language barrier to overcome, as the Blue Men don’t speak, fans of all ages, cultures and nationalities can enjoy the experience.”

Katsuhisa Arai, President and CEO of Trickster Entertainment Inc. (Japan), which has entered a partnership with Blue Man Group, made the following comments:

“We have been planning and producing long-running shows and Japan tours for Blue Man Group since 2007. By forming this partnership, we will establish a Japanese-style long-running show system and create Blue Man Group shows that can only be seen in Japan. We will strive to bring the show to as many audiences as possible throughout Japan!”
