Astor Place Theater
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
The crowd at Astor Place Theater is a mix of locals and tourists, families and couples, all drawn by the same thing: the long-running Blue Man Group. This intimate off-Broadway theater in the East Village has been home to the bald, blue performers since 1991, offering a sensory blend of comedy, music, and multimedia theatrics. It's a casual, family-friendly space where you'll see plenty of kids and adults laughing together.
The theater is small with just 300 seats, so every spot feels close to the action. You can buy Blue Man Group merch at the venue, as gifts are one of their offerings. If you're planning a visit, nearby you could also explore the Metropolitan Museum of Art for more classic arts.
