Janet Jackson has delighted fans for nearly 30 years with a constantly evolving style of pop and R & B. The Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour marinates eardrums in songs drawn exclusively from Jackson’s catalogue of 35 number-one hits, an illustrious group of tunes that includes “That’s the Way Love Goes,” “Black Cat,” and “All for You.” Pared-down sets and carefully crafted dance moves allow Jackson to connect directly with her dedicated fans, eschewing pyrotechnics for an experience as emotionally resonant as a baby’s first push-up. The concert takes place in the Hamilton Place theatre, where an intimate atmosphere and carefully crafted acoustics send concertgoers into paroxysms of aural and aesthetic delight. As an added perk, the first 50 Grouponers to redeem tickets will get an autographed copy of Jackson’s Greatest Hits CD.
