Celebrating 40 Years!

There would never have been a New Kids on the Block or an *NSYNC without New Edition - This veteran boy band was the Jackson 5 of the 1980s! Now grown men, the former teenage heartthrobs who sang "Candy Girl" and "Mr. Telephone" are reunited and touring the USA. Celebrating 40 years together, expect to hear their iconic hits. Don't miss the guys at the Encore Theatre!

Billed as the new Jackson 5, the group of childhood friends from Boston burst onto the music scene in 1983 with the decidedly Jackson 5-esque Candy Girl, which rocketed straight to the top spot of the R&B singles chart. Only teenagers at the time of its release, the next thirty years would see the group clock up dozens of other hits singles (Mr. Telephone, If it isn't Love), as well as various solo projects, break-ups and reunions. They also signaled their transition from boys to men when they signed to Sean P. Diddy Comb's Bad Boy Records in 2002.
