Following the final performance of the iconic Blue Man Group in Chicago, members of the cast and crew staged a silent yet profound protest to express their concerns over the abrupt closure of the show and its relocation to Orlando. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, demonstrators marched and tapped on drums, some adorning iconic blue faces reminiscent of the characters they embodied for years. The protest emphasized not only their loss but also broadened the critique to point out the adverse impacts of corporate decisions on local artistic communities.
