Ten
things we'd rather forget...
Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star theatre critic, cites the
Blue Man Group as #2 on his 2005 "Ten things we'd rather
forget" list.
"This worldwide success story blotted its Toronto
copybook by an ugly confrontation with our city's performing-arts
organizations over hiring non-union members to staff their
show. What should have been a slam-dunk smash became better
known as a contentious labour flashpoint. Everyone wound up
singing the blues."
Toronto Star, December 26,
2005
