Tips & Warnings
Blue Man Group members are between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch, so if you are above or below their requirements, you can still act like a Blue Man, but sorry, you cannot actually become a Blue Man.
You do not need professional percussion instruments; rather, it is preferable to use garbage cans, PVC pipes and other household objects.
