Joey Fatone to play encore run in '& Juliet' on Broadway

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

It's gonna be Joey — again! After wrapping his nine-week run in & Juliet on Broadway on March 16, Joey Fatone will rejoin the cast from April 22 to July 31 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. Read our interview with Fatone.

In & Juliet, he took over the role of Lance from original cast member Paulo Szot. During Fatone's absence from March 18 to April 20, Hayden Tee will step in as Lance.

The main cast of & Juliet also includes 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.
