(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents R&B sensation Monica with her 'Code Red Experience' Tour on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at 7:00pm. Monica first rose to prominence in the 1990s with hits like "Don't Take It Personal" and "Before You Walk Out of My Life." Since then, she has continued to release chart-topping albums and singles, earning her multiple awards and accolades. Wé McDonald will open the night.

She owned the Billboard charts in the '90s and '00s with hit after hit: "The Boy Is Mine," "Angel of Mine," "So Gone," "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)," "The First Night" and "For You I Will." She's the soundtrack of our lives, a multi-platinum GRAMMY® winner, an artist, a legend, a goddess—we could go on and on, but you already know! With soulful new music and a flawless voice, Monica is genuinely in her queen era—experience R&B royalty at her finest.
