JC Chasez is warming up the & Juliet stage for Joey Fatone with a sing-along.
Chasez, 48, will be hosting a sing-along event for the Broadway musical on Thursday, Nov. 21 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. The musical comedy’s score of Max Martin hits includes *NSYNC fan favorite, “It’s Gonna Be Me,” making the bandmates’ respective appearances all the more special.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing & Juliet on a number of occasions and the energy in the room was always electric,” Chasez said in a press release. “I couldn’t be more excited to join in on the fun along with the fans to honor my good friend Max and to celebrate the show’s two years on Broadway.”
In September, Chasez released his first musical theater recording project called Playing with Firewhich reimagines Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a conversation between Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, as per Playbill.

It’s safe to say that Fatone, 47, is looking forward to taking over the role of Lance on Jan. 21, 2025 for a limited engagement lasting until March 16. “I’m excited that I’ll be joining the cast of & Juliet!,” Fatone said in October about his upcoming return to Broadway.
“I can’t wait to get out there and sing Max Martin’s amazing songs — his hits have shaped so much of pop music. And yes, I know I’ll even be singing a couple of Backstreet Boys songs (‘Everybody’ and ‘I Want It That Way’). Even though my loyalty remains with NSYNC, they still have bangers,” he continued.
The musical also features “Since U Been Gone,” “…Baby One More Time” and “Teenage Dream,” among other pop classics.
