The Blue Man Group held their first performance in China on Friday night at the Venetian Macao’s Venetian Theater before an audience of Hong Kong and Macau celebrities.
Attending the opening night were Hong Kong and Macau artists Bob Lam, Tang Chi Wai, Benedict Chong, Ryan Lau, Siu Fay and many others. The famous character “BiBi Chili” from Macau online media Manner also made a surprise appearance on the ‘blue carpet’.
The award-winning show is scheduled to run daily until August 28 at the integrated resort, except on Mondays.
The Macau shows are part of a new worldwide tour, which blends comedy, theater, rock concert and dance party. To date, over 35 million people in more than 15 countries have watched a Blue Man Group production.
Pacha said to draw interest from Trilantic
Private equity fund Trilantic Europe is considering an offer for Spanish dance-club operator Pacha Group, according to people familiar with the matter.
A sale of closely held Pacha, which runs clubs on the Spanish island of Ibiza, as well as Germany, Poland, Australia, China and Brazil, could fetch a few hundred million euros, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. Trilantic Europe is working with advisers as it carries out due diligence, the people said.
No final decision has been made and Trilantic Europe could decide against a purchase of Pacha, which may also draw interest from other bidders, the people said.
Pacha has attracted interest from potential partners throughout its history, though the company isn’t proactively seeking a sale, a spokesman for the Spanish firm said. A representative for Trilantic Europe declined to comment.
Pacha, which traces its roots back to the 1960s when it opened its first club in the Catalonian city of Sitges, has been expanding geographically over the years and diversifying into other leisure and entertainment businesses such as hotels, restaurants and fashion, according to its website. French disc jockeys David Guetta and Martin Solveig make regular appearances and a standard ticket may cost 52 euros to 130 euros, according to its website.
