BINI went from a Filipino talent-development program to selling out arenas across Asia in under five years, and their fandom travels with lightsticks, fanchants and banner projects that make a room feel like a stadium. Kings Theatre gives them one of New York's most spectacular interiors to do it in: a 1929 Loew's Wonder Theatre in Flatbush left to rot for thirty years before a full restoration. If P-pop has taken over your feed, this is the New York date.
What to expect
A fully seated theater where almost nobody stays seated — expect coordinated lightstick colors, fanchants on cue and a crowd that knows every choreography change. Ashley Mehta opens. The lobby and rotunda are worth walking through before the show; the restoration detail is the reason people photograph this venue as much as the stage.
