5280 interview with Joey McIntyre

Theater: Joey McIntyre Stars in "The Kid" Joey McIntyre has got the right stuff—he hopes. The former New Kids on the Blockstud is headlining a one-man, autobiographical musical that's launching at the Denver Center on  August 29 .  The Kid   is a developmental show, meaning it's a finished production but adjustments can and will be made throughout the run based on audience and crew feedback. We caught up with the singer to get the scoop. 5280: What inspired you to make this musical? Joey McIntyre:   I can’t help it. I grew up on the stage.  The cool thing is that part of the process of doing [the show] is not totally knowing the why. That’s the fun part of being a performer. I'm going to find out a lot about this show that I don’t know right now. Denver is our first time in front of an audience.  5280: What's  The Kid  about? Getting involved with NKOTB and that whole experience, and then, because that happened at such a young age, ha...

Denver Westword interview with Joey McIntyre

Joey McIntyre (yes, the New Kids Joey McIntyre) stars in  The Kid , premiering Thursday Get ready for  The Kid , starring Joey McIntyre of the cult-favorite supergroup New Kids on the Block, which will have its world premiere in Denver this week. Earlier this month, on the heels of the act's massive, fifty-city tour, McIntyre and Denver Center Attractions announced that they were teaming up to develop a musical that documents McIntyre coming of age as the youngest member of one of the biggest boy bands in history. We recently caught up with McIntyre to talk about the (welcome) challenge of shifting performance mediums, starring as himself, and the world premiere of  The Kid  -- in Denver. Westword :  How was  The Kid  conceived--was it your idea? Joey McIntyre:  I've been on stage since I was six years old; performing is a part of my life. I've done a lot of live performance and some solo stuff that's more interactive, but this is a show: It h...

BOSTON.COM: Joey McIntyre turns his life into a musical

Indeed, McIntyre was just 8 when he made his musical theater debut, singing “Gary, Indiana’’ from “The Music Man’’ at the Footlight Club in Jamaica Plain. “I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember,” he says. “And, frankly, I could get up and sing songs for the rest of my life, but I wanted to tell a story.” So he is. McIntyre will tell his own story in a new musical called “The Kid.” The one-man show, which he concedes is still taking shape in rehearsals, opens Aug. 29 at the  Garner Galleria Theatre  in Denver. “It’s an idea I’d been toying with for awhile,” McIntyre says on the phone from the Mile High City. “I wanted to do something...

OK Magazine: Red Carpet Confidential: Joey McIntyre Reveals Which NKOTB Member Is “Semi-Perverted”

No zany boybander here! As  New Kids On The Block  singer  Joey McIntyre  prepares to wrap The Package Tour with  98 Degrees  and  Boyz II Men  this Sunday, he can take pride that no practical jokes   have made anyone look foolish—yet. “We don’t do the wacky stuff,” the married father of three, 40, who performed during the Mixtape Festival at Pennsylvania’s Hershey Park this week, tells me. “One way to stay together is to not pull any pranks, because I think everybody wants to sleep at night, and not worry about who’s coming after them in revenge.” So if practical jokes aren’t his thing, what  does  make him laugh? “That dry, sardonic take on things,” the former teen idol, who played  Melissa McCarthy ’s brother this summer in the comedy  The Heat , says. “In the New Kids, Jordan [Knight] is like the ultimate straight man. I usually take what he says and run with it, and then I take the lead with his jokes. He has a dry...

(Photo: Twitter / Joey McIntyre) DENVER — He rose to fame as one of the New Kids on the Block, but singer Joey McIntyre is about to work a different kind of stage. Denver’s Garner Galleria Theater confirmed that the singer-actor is producing and starring in a one-man show about his own life that is set to debut in the Mile High City. The show is called ”The Kid,” and it’s a work in progress. Rehearsals will start on Wednesday, according to sources.
