New Kids on the Block Still Have the ‘Right Stuff’ After All These Years: 5 Best Moments From Night 1 of Las Vegas Residency
New Kids on the Block made their Las Vegas residency debut on Friday night, and these were their 5 best moments.
Between the massive main stage that opened with a life-size replica of a Boston train atop a grand staircase and a shortcut through the pit of fans to a catwalk lined with barstools of concertgoers, there was a lot of ground to cover for the New Kids — and they made sure to use every square inch. The night’s first aerial moment came when Jordan Knight performed his Billboard Hot 100 top 10 solo hit “Give It to You” and, inspired by the song’s carnival-themed music video, he buckled himself into a Ferris wheel gondola that floated high across the stage. In addition to the quickie wedding, some other Vegas-specific touches included the boys’ Rat Pack-inspired second act, with coordinated suits and a classic New Kids on the Block casino sign, plus a mash-up of Britney Spears’ “Toxic” with Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas” during their infamous quick change backstage camera segment.
