Former teen stars Kelly Packard and Jennie Kwan look back at '90s fame and rivalries with other sitcom actors, before opening up about their California Dreams reunion concert with the entire cast in NYC next month.<\/h2>\n

No, you’re not dreaming.<\/p>\n

Next month, the entire cast of ’90s teen series California Dreams<\/em> will reunite in NYC for a concert — and, if stars Jennie Kwan and Kelly Packard have their way, it won’t be a “one night only” event.<\/p>\n

California Dreams<\/em> ran from 1992 until 1996 as part of NBC’s Saturday morning lineup, alongside sitcoms like Saved By the Bell<\/em>, Hang Time<\/em> and City Guys<\/em>. Unlike those other shows revolving around the pitfalls of being a teenager, however, the kids on this one also played together in a band.<\/p>\n

And now, nearly 30 years since the show went off the air, they’re doing it again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While select members of the cast previously performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em> in 2010 and a 2019 pop-up in LA<\/strong>, the October 13 event at Stitch Bar and Blues in Times Square will be the first time ever<\/em> all the show’s revolving cast members will rock out together.<\/p>\n

Kwan and Packard will be joined by Michael Cade, Jay Anthony Franke, Brentley Gore, Aaron Jackson, William James Jones, Heidi Saban and Diana Uribe at the event.<\/p>\n

Speaking with TooFab about the upcoming gig, Kelly said the genesis for the reunion shows started around 10 years ago, when she and Jennie “went to a concert of a popular girl band” together and thought, “You know what, we could do this.” That led to their 2019 pop-up, which Packard said was “a huge success” and got them thinking about doing even more “down the road.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Kwan, they were actually “supposed to do a mini tour” after the Los Angeles gig, but “it just wasn’t the right timing” — citing Covid as one of the factors that put those plans to a halt. Eventually, they decided it was time to try again and planned an event in NYC, coinciding with New York Comic-Con.<\/p>\n

“The fact we have every single cast member coming still astounds me. I haven’t seen Diana since we wrapped, so I am just as excited for this moment as the fans are,” said Packard, while Jennie said she was “getting chills” just thinking about the event. “The fact that the entire cast is here, it’s kind of insane,” added Kwan, who believes the concert will be the perfect event for Comic-Con attendees looking for something to do at night.<\/p>\n

“It’s gonna be a really fun, crazy time and we’re down for it,” she continued.<\/p>\n

When asked if more shows or that mini-tour could be in their future, Kwan exclaimed, “Who wants to bring us out? We’re ready for sponsorship. Let’s do it! We’ll see, you never know!” Added Kelly: “I think we’re all on board because it’s so much fun and we enjoy being together.”<\/p>\n
