"Boy" group entertains hundreds at Highlands in Ohio County. Story by Jim Forbes
WHEELING -- What do Seattle, Washington; New York City and Wheeling all have in common?
All three cities are being visited by the New Kids on the Block as they premiere their new DVD entitled, "Coming Home."
Wednesday night, hundreds showed up at the Marquee Cinemas at the Highlands in Ohio County to meet the former boys groups.
Now in their 40s, the New Kids on the Block are staging a comeback after 15 years in hiatus.
After meeting their fans, the hour-long DVD was shown to the crowd and then there was a question and answer session. So two questions they got a lot, were why Wheeling and why did they reunite 15 years later?
"We wanted to structure it in a way where a small town could win," said Donnie Walhberg. "Wheeling, it turns out, just had the most votes. I guess it's per capita. I think it's per capita minus three times three x equals y."
"We thought it was the right time and we did 150 dates in the last couple of years and it was amazing and we have the best fans in the world and having a lot of fun and we thought we'd put it together on DVD and these screenings are fun," said Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block.
Now, it's on to New York City, tonight, where the group will do the same thing Thursday.
