Jack Kenn, the managing director of the Blue Man Group, said they wanted to come back to Orlando since they left.
“It was really great to get the creative team and the operations people together to say, ‘Hey, how do we want this to look? How do we want it to feel? How do we want it to sound? You know, what’s the color of the seats?’ We’ve never been able to pick those things,” Kenn said.
