Three "blue men" tap on a marimba-like installation made with PVC pipes and play the intro of Chinese pop song Little Apple, which arouses giggles and applause in the audience during the New York-based Blue Man Group's debut in the Chinese mainland in Guangzhou.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the creative theater show launched a world tour in April and for the first time comes to the Chinese mainland.
It made its debut in Guangzhou on Oct 11 and will travel to Beijing and Shanghai during its six-week tour in China.
Combining various performing art forms including live music, juggling, installation art and performance art, the show opens the audience's eyes and stimulates the senses throughout the 90-minute show.
Blue Man Group has been performed in 15 countries and has been seen by more than 35 million people worldwide.
With everyone jumping for joy and reaching for the big balloons rolling from the stage at the end of the show in Guangzhou, it proves that Blue Man Group's happy virus is infectious.
