The Total Package Tour is a co-headlining tour featuring New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men and Paula Abdul.
During her finale performance at The Mixtape Festival concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania in August of 2016 Paula Abdul announced she would be touring in 2017 with New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men.
Paula's MixTape performance marked her return to the concert stage – her first live concert performance in nearly 25 years. In recent years Paula has only performed short one-off sets for fans, including a rendition of “I'm Just Here for the Music” on American Idol in 2009, and a medley of her hits for Dancing with the Stars in 2012.
On May 8th 2017 director Cristina Piemonte announced she is directing and shooting a documentary/special on Paula Abdul. Cristina’s husband is one of Paula's dancers (Gianinni Semedo Moreira.)
Opening Night
The tour kicked off in Columbus, Ohio on May 12th 2017.. The show incorporated new visuals, including a new opening intro and also included a few of the same sets from Paula’s performance at the Mixtape Festival.
On June 10th 2017 Paula Abdul announced that due to a temporary injury she would be unable to perform at the Denver, CO show as originally scheduled. Paula's injury also caused her to cancel shows in Omaha, Kansas City, and St. Paul, MO. She returned to the Total Package Tour a week later on June 15th.
The North American tour kicked off on May 12th 2017 and concluded on July 16th 2017 after a total of 47 shows.
