ORLANDO, Fla. – *NSYNC icon and Orlandoan Joey Fatone will mark a special homecoming next year as he returns to The City Beautiful to perform in “& Juliet” at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
Reprising his role as Lance when the musical’s North American tour stops in Orlando, Fatone will take the Walt Disney Theater stage during a limited engagement from Jan. 6-11, 2026.
& Juliet flips the script on Shakespeare’s greatest love story, asking: What if Juliet chose her own destiny? Set to a soundtrack of chart-topping pop anthems by legendary songwriter Max Martin, the musical features hits including “…Baby One More Time,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”

Now in its second blockbuster year, the & Juliet North American Tour will visit more than 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada, with Orlando as one of its most anticipated Florida stops.
The musical features a book by Emmy® winner David West Read (Schitt’s Creek), direction by Luke Sheppard and choreography by Emmy Award® winner Jennifer Weber. Since its Broadway premiere in 2022, & Juliet has played to sold-out crowds, broken box office records and earned nine Tony Award® nominations.
