Tickets go on public sale Jan. 27. Now celebrating 25 years in the music industry, Boyz II Men continues to engage audiences with its multi-octave, smooth sound that brings new life to both timeless pop classics and contemporary ballads. For this soulful evening in Norfolk's Chrysler Hall, Boyz II Men will be accompanied by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The trio can claim the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time with more than 60 million albums sold. During that time, they earned an impressive four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, and three Billboard Awards. Their appearances in the United States and around the globe have earned high marks. The Dallas Morning News called the trio's Motown revue a “righteous throw-down with vibrant singing.” The Guardian in London praised their wholesome delivery and “glorious a cappella harmonies.” Collide,” a collection of ballads released in 2014, was their 11th studio album. Other recent releases include Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007), Love (2009) and Twenty (2011), marking their two decades in the music business. All three performers - baritone Nathan Morris and tenors Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris – are original members of a singing group that has its roots in Philadelphia's High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.
