LOS ANGELES, CA (January 16, 2024) – Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) presents as part of its 2023-2024 Season, now in its 45th year, WE ❤️ BOY BANDS! (WE LOVE BOY BANDS! ). The pop music extravaganza will feature hits from charting-topper boy bands who melted the hearts of countless fans from The Jackson 5 and *NSYNC to the Backstreet Boys and One Direction. The nearly 200 Chorus members, led in performance by Music Director & Conductor Ernest H. Harrison will perform (and sometimes dance) over 20 songs. The concert will feature choreography by Ray Leeper (Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars). WE ❤️ BOY BANDS! will be held at the historic Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills (8440 Wilshire Boulevard) on March 23 and 24, 2024. Tickets are now on sale at www.GMCLA.org.
WE ❤️ BOY BANDS! is a tribute to boy band legends of the 1990’s – *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Boyz II Men; recent chart-toppers – One Direction and BTS; and the timeless – Bee Gees, The Temptations and The Beatles! Classic four-part harmonies will explode with energy and joy when 200 voices perform brand new arrangements, as we sing and dance, for the boys we love! If ever there was a perfect pop cannon of songs for GMCLA, this is it!
Audiences will hear boy band hits like “I Want You Back” (Jackson 5); “Bye, Bye, Bye” (*NSYNC); “I Want It That Way” (Backstreet Boys); “Candy Girl” (New Edition); “What Makes You Beautiful” (One Direction), and more.
“We’ve been wanting to do a boy bands tribute for some time now. If ever there was a theme tailor-made for GMCLA, this is it,” exclaimed Lou Spisto, GMCLA Executive Director & Producer. “We’ll cover all the likely suspects from the nineties, but we’ll also celebrate iconic hits from earlier decades and the current generation of heartthrobs. And, of course, we’ll give boy bands the full ‘GMCLA treatment’ with all new arrangements for our 200 voices, dance and production numbers, and a few surprises to make these songs truly our own. And we’ll even break the strict definition of ‘boy band’ to top it all off with a song and dance about a boy named Ken.”
WE ❤️ BOY BANDS! will take place on Saturday, March 23 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 24 at 3:30 p.m. at the Saban Theatre (8440 Wilshire Boulevard) in Beverly Hills. Tickets range from $45 to $115 and are available at www.GMCLA.org. WE ❤️ BOY BANDS! is now on sale at www.GMCLA.org. The parking facility located at 8484 Wilshire Boulevard (at La Cienega) is the most convenient structure for Theatre parking.
