One of our listeners, Steven Rickert describes his experience at Blue Man Group.
The arrival of Blue Man Group – which occupies a newly created live performance venue accessible from both Universal CityWalk and Universal Studios – adds an entirely new dimension in live entertainment for Universal Orlando theme park guests and Florida residents.
The unique style of Blue Man entertainment has been experienced by more than 10 million people worldwide. They have entertained audiences of all ages with their live stage shows, their touring rock concert, television programming and albums.
And now, Blue Man Group brings their live show to Universal Orlando Resort. The show combinse music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to create the blissful party atmosphere that is a Blue Man Group trademark.
Blue Man Group performs from a specially created theater at Universal Studios. The building once housed Nickelodeon Studios and has been re-designed as a 1,000-seat theater complete with its own box office. The Blue Man Group show is custom-designed for Universal Orlando and includes elements of the group’s existing shows as well as newly created material.
Poncho Section – Tier 1
The first four rows of seating are referred to as the poncho section. In this section, guests are given a plastic poncho to wear in case certain materials happen to come off of the stage during the performance. The poncho has a hood and comes down to a little bit below the knee. All materials are edible and water-soluble.
Orchestra (Zones 1 & 2) – Tier 1
The entire theatre is considered to be stadium style seating and is very similar to a movie theatre. The center orchestra has a left section, a center section, and a right section. Each section consists of 11 rows, which range from Row A (first row) to Row L (last row). It is suggested to sell center seats first as this seating provides the most possible interaction and participation for the customer. The side sections offer a great view and also provide interaction and participation for the customer.
Rear Orchestra (Zones 3 & 4) – Tier 2
The rear orchestra also consists of a center, left and right section. The center section wraps around the sound engineer station and, even though it is further back, offers fantastic views of the stage.
Accessible Seating
There will be at least ten seats available for handicapped accessible seating. The locations of these will be finalized when the theatre seating is completed. Currently we anticipate them to be located between the poncho section and Zone 1 with some additional locations between Zone 2 and Zone 3. Accessible seating is only available for a handicapped patron and a companion. If there is a party of four and one of the four is in a wheelchair, two of the seats can be sold in the accessible section while the other two seats need to be sold outside of the accessible section. It is very important to sell handicapped accessible seats to handicapped accessible patrons. If a performance is sold out, you may not sell handicapped accessible seats to non handicapped accessible patrons. If accessible seats have not been sold by the day of the performance, the seats are released for sale to the general public.
