Millennials rejoice, because JC Chasez is on Broadway. At least for one night only (for now). The former NSYNC member hosted a sing-along performance of the hit musical & Juliet November 21 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. And yes, he did sing along, saying, "This is actually my first time singing on a Broadway stage" before hinting that he might be on Broadway soon: "I have the feeling I want to do it again."
See Chasez and the cast of & Juliet sing the NSYNC hit song "Tearin' Up My Heart" in the video above, as part of the evening's curtain call.
& Juliet is a jukebox musical using the pop hits written by Martin, including one song for NSYNC ("It's Gonna Be Me"). "Tearin' Up My Heart" is not in the show, though Chasez says it "should've made the play."
Chasez is not the only NSYNC member to show up at & Juliet—Joey Fatone will join the company as Lance beginning January 21, 2025 (where he will sing some songs by another boy band, the Backstreet Boys). Chasez has been busy on the musical front—he recently wrote a Frankenstein musical and released a cast album for it, called Playing With Fire.
