The updated production in the 1,200-seat Monte Carlo Theater (formerly the home of magician Lance Burton) will be fully loaded with creative and unique acts, taking the audience on a journey that will engage the senses while creating fun and lively moments only Blue Man Group can provide. Currently, the theater is home to comedian Frank Caliendo, who leaves at the end of the year, and dance troupe Jabbawockeez. "When it comes to world-class entertainment, Blue Man Group is the epitome of dynamic creativity, explosive energy and endearing playfulness," said Anton Nikodemus, president and COO of Monte Carlo. "We are confident this experience will be infused in their production at Monte Carlo and look forward to integrating new concepts that will enhance their visibility at the property."
Co-founder of Blue Man Group Phil Stanton said, "We were attracted by the great theater, but we were equally attracted by the team at Monte Carlo and MGM Resorts International as well as their vision for creating unique and entertaining experiences for their customers." Co-founder Chris Wink adds, "We look forward to adding our unique brand of music, fun and curiosity into the mix to help them achieve that vision."
Over the past 11 years, Blue Man Group has built a very strong audience following in Las Vegas, first appearing at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. After a five-year run, the show moved to a custom built theater inside the Venetian Resort.
