Win an evening with The Blue Man Group in Newcastle

May 9 2009 by Barbara Hodgson, The Journal

CULTURE Club members have the opportunity to win one of five pairs of tickets to see The Blue Man Group at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on Saturday, May 23.

The prize also includes a “meet and greet” as part of what will be an extraordinary night.

In the show, The Blue Man Group will be presenting their perfect anarchistic instruction manual on gaining popularity in the modern music world.

The three seemingly emotionless, bald, glistening blue and mute men have taken with them all their self-crafted ensembles, together with Blue Man favourites such as whirlpool drumming, marsh- mallow throwing and paint spitting.

In arenas, the multimedia show is in its element, with innovative components from surreal theatre, slapstick, video, lightshow and stimulating rock music.

The energetic tour production, How To Be A Megastar, lays emphasis on dynamics, rhythm and audience participation.

The men use their live stage as a playground for music and art seemingly forgoing all rules.

FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN THIS COMPETITION, email your answer to the question below, along with your name, address and daytime telephone number to cultureclub@ncjmedia.co.uk or call (0191) 201-6021 leaving your name, membership number and daytime telephone number to arrive no later than Friday, May 15.
