"Theater: Long-Running Shows." New York Times 27 Nov. 2015: C19+. Academic Search Complete. Web. 7 Feb. 2017. Blue Man Group grew out of a collaboration between three close friends, Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1988. It originated as a celebration to the end of the 1980s. They wore blue masks and led a procession leading to burning a Rambo doll and a piece of the Berlin Wall. The Blue Man character emerged from these small "disturbances" on the streets of the city, growing into small shows at downtown clubs, eventually becoming a full performance at the Astor Place Theatre in 1991. The show caught the attention of US media.

The Blue Man Group is a performance art company formed in 1991. It is best known for its creative stage productions around the world. It combines many different categories of music and art, both popular and unpopular, to create its own take on these appeals.

Corruption in Egypt

Corruption defines Egypt's economy in more ways than one. While popular businesses receive privileged treatment, the average business must embrace a culture of lying, extortion, embezzlement, and bribery. This favoritism forces businesses to have strong networks in order to survive. Although laws exist to criminalize these actions, they are rarely enforced properly.
