Sure, there are the Intel commercials for the Pentium computer chip and a performance at this year's Grammy Awards. But Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton and Chris Wink say their artistic vision hasn't changed since starting as a guerrilla theater troupe in New York 13 years ago. They still cover their heads and faces with shiny blue makeup.
Shows can still involve splattering paint, using homemade percussion instruments and tossing food.
Still, the company has turned down offers to perform rap music and hawk theme park rides and a slew of blue products. And despite critical success, Wink says Blue Man doesn't take itself too seriously. But if you mean is it important and elitist, we'd rather be known as comedians.
