Blue Man Group set to make splash in Worcester

Brian Tavener’s world is blue — which suits him just fine.
It doesn’t take as long as you might think for Tavener to suit up and do makeup as a member of Blue Man Group, notwithstanding the unique look of the performers.

Before each show, the three Blue Man Group performers who will be on stage along with a three- or four-member band “connect with each other for about an hour. We’ve all got to get everyone on the same page.”
