Friday night we up Tickets 4 Tonight for Boyz II Men and Chippendales tickets. Then spent 2 hours going to Rio and back to pick up the Chippendales tickets and arrived at the Terry Fator theater juuust (and I mean just!) as the show was starting. Whew! Although I had seen Boyz II Men 4 times this year I wasn’t sure what to expect for their full show where they were headlining! We were told earlier in the week shows run about 90 minutes but it depends on how chatty they were – and they were VERY chatty, and very funny. They’ve now been a band 22 years and did pretty much all their singles, a medley of Motown hits, some other great acapella numbers in 4 part harmony (thanks to ‘extra guy’) as well as a song that they “stole” from the Beatles (Yesterday). They also talked about how 15 or 16 years ago an ‘old guy’ pitched a song to them that was sure to be #1 and they didn’t think so and said to give it to another group. In 6 weeks it went to #1 for the other group! The song? Amazed. They sang it for us. The end of the show had most of the biggest hits and during I’ll Make Love To You a lot of ladies rushed to the stage in hopes of getting a rose! I didn’t keep track of a setlist but I tried to piece one together with the help of YouTube. Everyone seemed to be recording the whole dang show!
