Blue Man Group in Moscow: the blue show

On the Small arena of Luzhniki hosted the show Blue Man Group, the popular new York performance band acting in the image of the blue aliens.

Blue Man Group has existed for over 30 years and during that time became popular in America and Europe. Their fixed performances in the US and touring around the world saw more than 35 million people in 25 countries, but in Russia, the band performed for the first time.

"Blue men" as they are called fans, really managed to surprise Moscow.

In the speech "Blumenau" all mixed up: contemporary art, acting, rock music, paper disco, the endless jokes on himself and over the room. And even a little Russian notes: at some point, "blue" put on bald heads kokoshniks and cheerfully played Kalinka-Malinka.

After the concert, during a photo shoot with the audience, they told a bald "blue men" that the headdress in the winter are out of date. And tried one of them a real warm fur hat. The one remaining in the image (during performances of "blumine" don't say a word, communicating with gestures and body movements), said nothing, but, certainly, agreed.
