Blue Man Group at ICON Park Review

Blue Man Group returned to Orlando on May 1, 2026 with a brand new show in a brand new theater at ICON Park. Is the show worth the splurge on I-Drive for new and old guests alike? Find out inside…

Blue Man Group is a performance art group that uses comedy and percussion-based music to parody pop culture, technology, and the arts. The three blue and bald performers are best known for their PVC-based instruments and paint-covered drums. Tickets start at $60 per person plus tax and go up to $122 per person plus tax for closer seats. We expect VIP packages and special meet & greet add-ons to be offered soon. Tickets are available at ICON Park and online.

Blue Man isn’t new to Orlando. The show ran two iterations up I-Drive at Universal Orlando until COVID shut the show down permanently in 2021. This new production at ICON Park keeps many of the classic and fan favorite moments from the old show (gumballs and marshmallows remain) and updates the performance to feature brand new skits and new songs. The theater is roughly half the size of the Universal sound stage at 540-odd seats, but this fits better for the smaller show experience, creating a more intimate environment. Cirque says this is the first theater custom built for the group.

The new show is a refined, polished, and BRIGHTER production with new skits and instruments for Orlando Blue Man. Advances in lighting and LED screen tech make the high tech aspects feel weightless and effortless in a way older shows couldn’t achieve. The biggest change from the old Orlando show is the ending, with the lighter than air glowing orbs now gone and replaced with a cacophony of drums, smoke rings, and airborne crepe paper. The show’s themes of connection are even more pronounced in this show, featuring segments inspired Amazon Sam Day Delivery and more. The tech team has really outdone themselves by creating connections to the backing band using new live video feeds that are smartly integrated into the show. The most intriguing new addition is an all seeing artificial eye who thinks algorythms are better than actual connections, so needless to say the Blue Men are not amused. But classic moments remain in the show, too, like the iconic drumbone and revamped guest interaction bits. If you haven’t seen Blue Man since the show closed up the street, or if you have never seen them, it’s worth your time to swing by ICON Park to see this new production.

ICON Park is on I-Drive, north of Walt Disney World and south of Universal Orlando. The theater sits under the Orlando Eye Ferris wheel and is accessible by car from the free ICON Park Car Park off International Drive or by ride share drop off from Universal Boulevard. Guests visiting BMG have several other attractions and dining options at Icon Park. The Ripley’s Crazy Golf is a new indoor mini golf course featuring psychedelic and colorful mini golf holes. SeaLife Orlando Aquarium is a family friendly aquarium with hands on areas, 360 degree aquarium tunnel, and dozens of aquatic species. And the iconic Orlando Wheel cements ICON Park. As for food check out the popular franchise Yard House for elevated American fare, Tin Roof with its focus on live music and souther comfort food, and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red country music venue and restaurant.
