What to Expect From Backstreet Boys’ Sphere Residency: Dancing, Iconic Visuals & ‘Not a Bad Seat in the House’
AJ McLean, along with the group's creative team, reveal how they put together the venue's first pop show.
Before opening night, McLean, Rich + Tone and Halpin spoke to Billboard — and while they’re keeping the granular details of the show under wraps, they offered plenty of hints as to what fans and BSB newcomers alike can expect at their Sphere spectacular. Image Credit: Justin Segura Halpin describes the BSB as “like that Pixar movie with all the emotions [ Inside Out] — they together form this cohesive unit that brings all the elements together.” Preparing for a challenge as immense as Sphere’s first pop show, he explains, elucidated each member’s unique personality and skill set. Kevin Richardson “asks really detailed, observant questions; he needs to understand the mechanics of how things work because he wants to know how that relates to what they have to do”; McLean “is all about the energy,” keen to get the crowd hyped; Brian Littrell is more “practical,” interested in how each element of the show affects the others and what unforeseen issues might need more thought.
