ORLANDO, Fla. - The Blue Man Group is making its long-awaited return to Orlando with a new home and a new residency!
The popular performance company, known for its music, art and comedy productions performed by a trio of "Blue Men" whose skin is painted blue, will soon call ICON Park home starting in late 2024. It's the Blue Man Group's return to the City Beautiful after a three-year break that started in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, they were in Orlando for 14 years.
