Joey Fatone Returns Home to Orlando in North American Tour of & Juliet

Orlando, FL — Orlando audiences are in for a special moment as hometown favorite and *NSYNC superstar Joey Fatone joins the North American Tour of the global hit musical & Juliet, appearing in a limited engagement at Dr. Phillips Center from January 6–11, 2026.

Fresh off his recent Broadway run, Fatone reprises the role of ‘Lance’ when the tour stops in Orlando, marking a special homecoming for the multi-talented performer, actor and entrepreneur.

“Joey’s return to Orlando brings an extra layer of excitement and hometown pride to this already electrifying production,” said Foster Cronin, vice president of programming and education at Dr. Phillips Center. “It’s a unique opportunity for Central Florida audiences to see one of our own shine on stage in a global Broadway phenomenon.”

& 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!”

The production stars Fabiola Caraballo Quijada, winner of the 2025 Jimmy Award®, as Juliet, alongside a dynamic touring cast and ensemble bringing high-energy choreography, bold storytelling and laugh-out-loud moments to Walt Disney Theater stage.

A longtime Central Florida resident, Fatone is also the founder of Fat Ones, his Orlando-based hot dog concept and a familiar face at local events.

From record-breaking success with *NSYNC to Broadway roles in RENT, Little Shop of Horrors and now & Juliet, Fatone continues to captivate audiences across music, television and theater. 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.

Tickets are available now at drphillipscenter.org.
