After playing to capacity crowds throughout North and South America, Blue Man Group's Megastar World Tour hits the road again. The live rock show takes the audience through a satirical "workshop" on how to create "the perfect rock concert experience." In the process, they celebrate, skewer and otherwise deconstruct rock stardom in all of its narcissistic glory. Expanding on the "Rock Concert Manual" concept from The Complex Rock Tour, this time around the Blue Men download a new "how-to manual" that takes the audience through a uniquely clever and interactive show that guarantees to deliver hypnotic entertainment for all ages. In the end, the message of the show plays against its ironic title. Co-founder of Blue Man Group Chris Wink explains, “We want people to walk away feeling like the real magic of rock concerts comes from their tribal and communal elements as opposed to 'mega-stardom.' We invite people to upload pictures of themselves taken at the show to our website as a symbol of how the real star of a good rock concert is the euphoric vibe that takes everyone in the building to create." In the fall of 2007, How to be a Megastar Tour 2.1 was captured by Rhino Records for a combo DVD/CD, entitled How to be a Megastar Live! Released on April 1, 2008, this two-disc collection contains as bonus features: 5.1 Surround Sound, the video for "I Feel Love," the comedic parody "Mono Makes a Plea - Save the TVs" campaign and the documentary "Inside the Tube," which provides an intimate look inside Blue Man Group's creative process and history.
