Comedic and creative, this blue comedy troupe's latest show hits HDNet
Sunday, January 20, 8:30pm ET
For those who haven't yet experienced Blue Man Group (and especially
for those who have) their debut in high definition will definitely be
a television event that you can't miss!
On Sunday, January 20 at 8:30 p.m. HDNet will present Blue Man Group
in all their frenetic glory with a performance from their latest tour,
"How to be a Megastar 2.1." The performance was captured late last
year at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.
The Blue Men are three energetic yet mute performers who wear blue
grease paint, latex bald caps, and black clothing. Their shows are
equal parts modern-day vaudeville, and multi-sensory rock concert,
complete with physical comedy, stunning visuals, and rock music played
in true Blue Man fashion.
This upcoming performance on HDNet takes the audience through a
satirical "workshop" on how to create "the perfect rock concert
experience." In the process, the Blue Men celebrate, skewer and
otherwise deconstruct rock stardom in all of its narcissistic glory.
In the show, the Blue Men obtain a "how-to manual" that takes the
audience through a uniquely clever and interactive show that
guarantees to deliver hypnotic entertainment for all ages.
"The Blue Man Group experience will be unreal in high definition,"
said Mark Cuban, president and co-founder of HDNet. "All the colors,
lights and sight gags will totally come to life on the screen at home.
It will be the closest thing to actually being there."
The Blue Man Group "How To Be A Megastar 2.1" premieres on HDNet on
Sunday, January 20 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The Blue Man Group - How to be a Megastar Tour 2.1 is currently
touring the US and is produced by Emery Entertainment and Pacific Arts
Entertainment.
