Penn State students and local residents will get the chance tonight to experience a show that will undoubtedly deliver '90s nostalgia.

Pop boy band New Kids on the Block will hit the Bryce Jordan Center stage in support of its reunion tour -- with MTV stars The JabbaWockeeZ also scheduled to provide a supporting performance.

Bernie Punt, director of sales and marketing for the BJC, wrote in an e-mail that many concertgoers will relive their adolescent years at tonight's show.

"We are expecting thousands of 'very vocal' women," he wrote in the e-mail. "Many of these 'women' were young girls the last time they saw their teen crushes live."

Sisters Steph and Stacey Sottung said they plan to be two of those screaming fans.

Steph Sottung (junior-journalism) said she's loved New Kids on the Block as long as she can remember, or at least since her older sister got into them.

"When I was little I wanted to be just like her," she said. "Since I was 4, I've been running around singing 'The Right Stuff.' "

Stacey Sottung, a 27-year-old who is the assistant director of campus programs at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, said she is excited to see her favorite childhood band live again, as she has not gotten the chance since fourth grade.

Both sisters attested to still owning such New Kids on the Block paraphernalia as bed sheets, sleeping bags, T-shirts and cassette tapes.

"I might have come decked out for the concert in a T-shirt and a side ponytail back in the day," Stacey Sottung said. "Not this time, though."

Stef Sottung said she hopes the concert features mostly throwback hits from the "good old days," because she only wants to hear the songs she listened to when she was little.

She added she can't wait to see if the band will perform as it did in its prime.

"I just want to hear Joey McIntyre's voice because it used to be so high," she said. "I want to see if he can still sing like he did when he was young."

Stacey Sottung said she knows "tons of people" who have already seen the reunion tour, including several of her college sorority members who "are still obsessed with that era."

The concert should be a good bonding experience for her and her sister, she added -- and a chance for her to take a trip down memory lane.

"It's funny that all those people my age will go and drool over Jordan Knight," she said. "I'll feel like I'm 11 years old again."
