Blue Man Group to Make Broadway Debut with “A New Holiday Surprise” Limited Run

Blue Man Group will premiere their new holiday show, "A New Holiday Surprise," on Broadway for the first time. The limited run will begin at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 12th, with opening night on November 17th, and continue until January 3rd. Besides Broadway, the show will also travel to Chicago's CIBC Theatre from November 24th to December 13th and Boston's Boch Center-Wang Theatre from December 15th to 23rd.

Further tour dates are yet to be revealed. Pre-sales for Citi cardholders are currently available, and an artist pre-sale starts on September 24th at 10:00 a.m. ET, followed by a public ticket sale on September 25th at 10:00 a.m. ET via Blue Man Group's website.

Marie-Josée Adam, Blue Man Group's president and CEO, expressed excitement about the show's debut, stating, "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." The production will incorporate popular holiday music using the group's distinctive custom instruments.

Adam added, "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 present classic holiday tunes in a fresh, hilarious, heartwarming, and visually stunning way. The show aims to create a unique holiday tradition, emphasizing the importance of togetherness and accepting that holiday customs don't always adhere to a strict schedule. Blue Man Group, which originated in New York City in the 1980s, launched their off-Broadway show in 1991 and continued until 2025, as noted in Consequence's 2011 ranking of The Best Grammy Performances of All Time.
