With their HOW TO BE A MEGASTAR TOUR 2.1, BLUE MAN GROUP embraces the rules, rituals and raw excitement of that most primal of group experiences: the arena rock concert! This full production tour features state-of-the-art concert technology. This tour brings the BLUE MAN GROUP experience to arenas across the nation this winter and through the spring of 2008.
Executive Tour Producer Paul J. Emery, III of Emery Entertainment, stated, "The demand for encore performances is far-reaching. We are thrilled to add some additional show elements including innovative new technology such as state-of-the-art video screens; new vocalists and the tour debut of the hit single "Rock and Go!" Describing the 2008 tour, Emery said, "After ordering a tongue-in-cheek `how-to' manual on becoming a rock star, BLUE MAN GROUP is joined by an eight piece band and subsequently takes us through, step-by-step and song-by-song, every head-bobbing, fist-pumping moment of a real concert with constant hi tech interaction with their audience. The result: a uniquely clever interactive show that delivers hypnotic entertainment for all ages!"
San Francisco-based multimedia artist Mike Relm opens the show with a mix of spins, scratches, music and video clips in a mash-up of pop-culture.
"How To Be A Megastar Tour 2.1" is produced by St. Louis-based Emery Entertainment and Los Angeles-based Pacific Arts Entertainment.
