New Edition

Formed in Boston in 1978, New Edition hit the big time with their 1983 debut album "Candy Girl," landing three singles on the charts and becoming an overnight sensation. Their self-titled 1984 sophomore album was an even bigger hit, topping the R&B charts on the strength of "Cool It Now" and "Mr. Telephone Man." The band's success in the mid-'80s was so considerable that it launched Bobby Brown to solo career stardom, with several other members finding success with other projects, including spinoff group Bell Biv DeVoe.

Reunited, five of the original members—Ricardo Bell, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, Ronald DeVoe and Michael Bivins—have hit the road for their much-anticipated tour. New Edition is bringing audiences to their feet for a trip down memory lane, performing their most popular hits as well as favorite songs from their solo careers.
