BINI went from a Manila trainee program to arena-scale fandom in about four years, and the Signals tour is the group's fullest staging yet, with eight-member choreography and a set built on their Filipino-language hits. Kings Theatre, a restored 1929 movie palace with a gilded proscenium, is a startlingly grand room for a pop show. If you want to see one of the loudest fandoms in the world take over a Brooklyn landmark, book this.
What to expect
A lobby full of fans in coordinated colors and handmade lightsticks, and a house that sings along in Tagalog from the first bar. The show leans on tight eight-person choreography with several costume changes. Ashley Mehta opens; the auditorium's plaster ornament and chandeliers are worth arriving early to look at.
Good to know
- B/Q to Beverley Rd or 2/5 to Church Av, then a short walk on Flatbush Avenue.
- The lobby and orchestra fill early because fans queue for merch.
- Kings Theatre is a seated venue; there is no general-admission floor.
- Balcony seats give the best view of the full-group formations.
- The theatre is landmarked; photography of the interior is welcome before showtime.
- Suits fans of K-pop and P-pop staging as much as casual pop listeners.
