JERSEY CITY, N.J. — R&B group Jodeci will perform at the newly restored Loew’s Jersey Theatre in Journal Square on Wednesday, Nov. 18, as part of a tour marking the 35th anniversary of its debut album, “Forever My Lady,” the theater announced.
The 8 p.m. show is part of the historic venue’s opening lineup following its restoration. Doors open at 7 p.m., and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, according to the theater.
The group — K-Ci, JoJo, Mr. Dalvin and DeVanté Swing — once lived in Bergen County during the years it rose to prominence, the theater said, giving the Jersey City date a hometown connection.
Released in 1991, “Forever My Lady” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B albums chart and produced three No. 1 R&B singles: the title track, “Stay” and “Come & Talk to Me.” Over its career, the group has sold more than 20 million records worldwide and earned five No. 1 hits, 10 Top 10 hits and three No. 1 albums on the Billboard charts, according to the release.
Other songs in the group’s catalog include “Cry for You,” “Feenin’” and “Freek’n You.”
Loew’s Jersey Theatre, at 54 Journal Square Plaza, opened in 1929 as one of five “Wonder Theatres” known for their scale and ornate design. After more than 40 years of limited use, the building underwent a restoration intended to preserve its movie-palace character while turning it into a modern live entertainment space.
The restoration is a partnership among the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, the state through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. With a standing-room floor and flexible seating, the theater can hold 2,600 to 4,000 people.
