TRENTON — "Seinfeld" may have been famously described as a show about "nothing," but the Blue Man Group put on a show about "anything."

The famously silent and vibrant trio will be heading to Trenton for the first time in 8 years when they hit the Sun National Bank Center on March 12, bringing with them a performance that's anything but easy to define.

"It's hard to describe, but that's also one of the main reasons you should come see it. It's personal to everybody," said Mike Brown, one of the men behind the blue paint. "Because we don't speak, the show can be whatever you want it to be. It can be about anything."

Still, he mentioned there are three universal themes the show will be able to convey and honor without any spoken language - music, physicality and interpersonal relationships. A lot of audience participation can also be expected, Brown said.

"You're seeing real things happen in real time for the first time, happening to these creatures that don't cast judgment. They're just going to be themselves without retribution, and ultimately, we want to inspire those kinds of actions in the audience," he said. "If you want to stand up and scream your head off or dance your pants off, go for it. We bring people up and have them interact with what we're doing. It helps us get to know the audience a bit more."

And hopefully, Brown added, it will help the audience get to know each other, as well.

"You get to see the smiles it creates, the energy it evokes, the good feelings that it constantly promotes," he said. "The spirit of the show is sending that out to people, and saying, 'If you want to do something fun, go out and do it.' It's about sparking that attitude."

According to Brown, that attitude can be contagious, and has caused many fans to keep coming back to the shows over and over again.

"You have to look inside yourself and remember what it was like to be a kid and just have fun for fun's sake," he said. "To magnify that feeling, that's what the show is hoping to create. It's just about fun."
