The New Kids On the Block kicked off their international reunion tour in Toronto on Thursday to a packed arena of screaming women (and a few men) — teeny-boppers all grown up.

Mothers brought young daughters, wives brought husbands, the majority came with girlfriends. Age didn’t stop fans from releasing their inner teenager as they relived the nostalgia and screamed for the boys — er, men — from Beantown. For many, the New Kids tour in 1990 was their first concert experience, while others had to wait nearly 20 years to see them live for the first time.

In the first of three shows in Toronto (we love ‘em up north), Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan and Jonathan Knight, and Danny Wood offered up a mix of old and new and proved they’ve still got “The Right Stuff” even after 15 years (including a few classic moves). Fans were treated to hits from five of their earlier albums as well as about half a dozen songs off “The Block”, their latest studio album released two weeks ago.

During the show, the group shared with fans a gold plaque they just received for the album, which entered at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart.

An emotional Donnie introduced “Click, Click, Click” with a tribute to local singer-songwriter, Nasri, who wrote the song that inspired and set into motion the reunion few thought would ever happen.

Sure, there were some cheesy elements, but fans didn’t care (or notice) — the New Kids know how to entertain and the deafening crowd couldn’t get enough.
