==Themes== Blue Man performances have a number of themes, including:<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite AV media |year=2006 |title=Blue Man Group: Inside the Tube |publisher=[[PBS]]}}</ref> * Science and technology, especially the topics of [[plumbing]], [[fractals]], human [[Visual perception|sight]], [[DNA]], and the [[Internet]]. * [[Information overload]] and [[information pollution]], such as when the audience is asked to choose one of three simultaneous streams of information to read. * [[Innocence]], as when the Blue Men appear to be surprised and perplexed by common artifacts of modern society or by audience reactions. * [[Self-conscious]] and [[naïve]] imitation of cultural norms, such as attempting to stage an elegant dinner of [[Twinkie]]s for an audience member; or following the Rock Concert Instruction Manual with the expectation that following instructions is all it takes to put on a rock concert. * Rooftops, or climbing to the top, a metaphor for the directive that Stanton, Wink and Goldman drew from [[Joseph Campbell]] and [[Bill Moyers]]'s [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] program ''[[The Power of Myth]]'', namely "following your bliss".<ref name="ReferenceA" />
