Mark Sollinger

Welcome to the Moth Podcast. I'm Mark Sollinger, coming at you with a special bonus episode. We're feeling a little blue today because we learned the Blue Man Group just ended its New York run. And no, I do not apologize for the pun. The Blue Man Group is still going with shows in Boston, Las Vegas, and Berlin, but its New York closing reminded us of one of our favorite stories from our archive.

And we thought we'd share it with you. Oh, and if you're not familiar with the Blue Man Group, well, just listen to the story. John Grady told us at a Moth main stage that we produced in collaboration with Blue Man Group, with musical interludes performed by Blue Men, and held at Astor Place Theatre, the now former New York City home of Blue Man.

The theme of the night was, appropriately enough, Tangled Up in Blue. Here's John, live at the Moth.

To see some fun Blue Man antics from that very Blue Knight when John Grady told his story, just go to the extras page for this episode on themoth.org. We've linked a clip where the Blue Men speak to the host of the night, and I hope you're hearing the quotes around the word speak. That's it for this short and sweet bonus episode. From all of us here at The Moth, we are wishing the blue men well.
