Today's Cryptoquip Clue: C equals T WANT ENTERTAINMENT UPDATES ALL DAY LONG? Follow @UDKEntertain on Twitter PAGE 5 SHOWTIME Members of the Blue Man Group play unique instruments made from plastic pipes, flexible poles and other unusual objects. ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Man Group deliver unique show to Lied Center TOM DEHART tdehart@kansan.com The Lied Center stage will turn blue tonight for its second performance of the Lied Center Presents performance series. The distinctive style of the Blue Man Group will enhance audience's senses tonight and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Blue Man Group got its start in 1987 in New York and has now grown into a global phenomenon. The unique form of entertainment combines technology, comedy and music to capture audiences of all ages. The group is currently on its first North American tour. Brian Tavener, who has been a Blue Man for six years and will be performing alongside two other Blue Men on the Lied Center stage this week, said that this tour's show is a spectacle for the eyes, and is a personal favorite of his. “This tour has gotten a complete face-lift on the technology aspects of the show, so the audience can expect a spectacle—it's a feast for the eyes just along the lines of how the show looks.” Tawener said. “Also, the four piece band that plays music the entire show, which basically represents the psyche of the Blue Man Group, is amazing." "As a Blue Man, I get to be a 110 percent version of Brian Tavener," One of the things that draw most people to the show, Tavener also said, is that the show is a constant work in progress that allows the performers to reflect the culture of the times, and that is ultimately why the show has enjoyed such notable success. "I get to be myself as I would exist if we didn't have rules, or didn't know what was right or wrong in our society. That's what I like about being a Blue Tekbilek as well as the Paris-based Hermes Quartet. University students are at an advantage when purchasing these tickets for Lied Center Presents performances because the Lied Center is required to hold tickets that have been subsidized by the Student Senate, according to Lied Center Marketing Communications Director, Michele Berendsen. "We basically never sell "As a Blue Man, I get to be a 110 percent version of Brian Tavener." Man, it's like I get to be the baby that I once was that never knew anything from anything else. It's a beautiful way to experience 2,000 people all at once." BRIAN TAVENER Blue Man Group Blue Man Group is only one of the many shows that will be performed as part of Lied Center Presents this school year. Other performances this month include Turkish musician Omar Faruk we set out of tickets," Berendsen said. "By contract, we have to keep tickets up until the day of. Last season we came close to selling out by about 6 or 7 tickets, but we never did." Tickets for MUSIC the Blue Man Group show start at $35 for University students, faculty and staff. Students can save money on other Lied Center performances this school year by purchasing a Performing Arts Pass which allows students into 18 performances for $125. Edited by Casey Hutchins Song of the day rt your week off right with some chill vibes Song: Malandrino Artist: Gogol Bordello Album: Pura Vida Conspiracy (2013) Label: ATO Gogol Bordello is a punk band with its roots in punk, folk and what some would refer to as "gipsy music." This song, "Mandrino," cycles through a folk-style intro with some classical guitar, and explodes into a fast, punk-ish beat with accompanying wind instruments and violins. At times, the song sounds like two separate pieces that have been melted together to create a larger—and more bizarre—track. —Tom Dehart ATO Records
