All original members will perform live in Mohegan Sun Arena on February 18th
Original New Edition members Bobby, Johnny, Ralph, Ricky, Ronnie and Michael have hits that have spanned over the past four decades and will reunite on a tour that will headline at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, February 18th at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $39.50 and go on sale Friday, December 30th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, December 31st, subject to availability.
New Edition was formed in the Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts by Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Bobby Brown, who began singing together in 1978 while still in elementary school, hoping to perform for pocket cash. They eventually recruited friend Ralph Tresvant as a fourth member and after winning a talent show in 1980, also added Ronnie DeVoe. More talent show victories followed, including a prestigious gig at the local Strand Theatre, where they performed the Jackson 5’s “The Love You Save.” They were discovered by writer/producer/impresario Maurice Starr, who signed the group to his small Streetwise label in hopes of launching a Jackson 5 phenomenon for the 80s.
“Candy Girl,” a song Starr co-wrote for the group, was released as their first single in 1983, when the members ranged in age from 13 to 15. Despite a lack of major-label interest in the group, “Candy Girl” was a smash, topping the R&B charts. Their debut album, also titled Candy Girl, spawned two more R&B hits in “Popcorn Love” and “Is This the End?” and MCA offered the group a deal.
They would go on to have successful hits in the 90s and then temporarily separated to focus on solo endeavors. The group returned in the 2000s when P. Diddy signed them to his Bad Boy label for the release of their 2004 comeback album, One Love.
