-Height between 5’10’’ and 6’2’’ (athletic build)
-Drumming skills and/or musicianship are an advantage, but a good sense of rhythm is a necessity.
-Excellent acting skills. Strong candidates often have backgrounds in theater and improvisation. Candidates are compelling and genuine nonverbal storytellers. They must thrive in a constantly evolving team environment on and off the stage.
-Willingness to relocate as the casting call helps to identify future Blue Men for existing and upcoming productions in Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas and Orlando.
