The Blue Man Group has a new home in Orlando at Icon Park

Blue-hued juggernauts the Blue Man Group have announced their long-awaited return to an Orlando attraction, but maybe not the one you're thinking of.

On Thursday, the fan-favorite performance artists confirmed their return to the Orlando tourist sector, but now they will be calling Icon Park home for a performance residency, rather than their old stomping grounds at Universal CityWalk. The cobalt fellows held court at Universal for a long run that ended in 2021.

“There is no greater world stage than Orlando for exciting family fun, making it a natural choice as a home base for Blue Man Group,” said Jack Kenn, managing director of Blue Man Group, in a press statement. “Our fans are eager for the Blue Men to be part of their Orlando vacations, and our creative team is thrilled to create a new type of experience that is even more immersive and personalized to Orlando.”

The Blue Man Group will be getting blue at a brand-new 500-seat theater, to be built and open for business by the end of the year.
