The wildly popular antic romp known as Blue Man Group this month celebrates a dozen years in Las Vegas, where the earless trio fills a theater night after night for a communally joyful and entirely bizarre experience. But what’s it all about? Longtime Blue Man Matthew Banks offers this insight: “The whole show is about the Blue Man trying to fit in, trying to see what makes the audience tick. Why are these people here and what do they want?” By the end of the show, “everybody is ... connected because we’ve all been on this weird experience.”
