Joey Fatone to join '& Juliet' Broadway cast

The founding member of *NSYNC will return to the stage in the Tony Award-nominated pop musical at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre for a limited engagement.

It's gonna be Joey! Joey Fatone will join the cast of & Juliet on Broadway for nine weeks only, performing from January 21 to March 16, 2025, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

Fatone is best known as a founding member of the hit boy band *NSYNC. He is also a stage veteran, having made his Broadway debut in 2002 as Mark in RENT in 2002 and played Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors in 2004.

In & Juliet, Fatone will take over the role of Lance from original cast member Paulo Szot. His fellow main cast members will include Maya Boyd as Juliet, Alison Luff as Anne, Drew Gehling as Shakespeare, Liam Pearce as Romeo, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Jeannette Bayardelle as Angélique, and Nathan Levy as François.

& Juliet is an unofficial sequel to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, in which the title heroine decides not to end her life over Romeo. Instead, she and her friends travel to Paris for a second chance at life and love. The story is set to pop hits from the catalog of songwriter/producer Max Martin, including "It's Gonna Be Me," "I Want It That Way," "...Baby One More Time," and more.
