When:
Short story:
Debbie Gibson begins her Electric Youth world tour at the Centrum, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.
Full article:
Karen Schlosberg (reviewer, Boston Herald) : With an 11-piece band (including three female back-up singers and two male dancers/singers), Gibson cheerily pranced through a 115-minute set on a backdrop that was a surreal cross between German Expressionism and Barbie's Fashion Show.
Even though many aspects of Gibson's show - her four costume changes, her peppy choreography, her tour sponsorship by Natural Wonder cosmetics - reflected her and her audience's more transient, youthful concerns, when Gibson struck out from both the bland dance formulas and the syrupy ballads into more melodic pop, she transcended her typecasting as child-prodigy performer.
