Get ready, Orlando, something special’s about to hit town. Joey Fatone, the hometown hero and *NSYNC legend, is coming back to the stage in the North American Tour of & Juliet. If you want to catch him, he’ll be at the Dr. Phillips Center for a short, can’t-miss run from January 6–11, 2026.

Joey’s just wrapped up a stint on Broadway, and now he’s bringing ‘Lance’ home. For Fatone, this stop isn’t just another show; it’s a return to his roots. The guy’s done it all—singer, actor, entrepreneur—and now he’s ready to light up Orlando again.

“Joey’s coming back, and the energy just shot through the roof,” said Foster Cronin, vice president of programming and education at the Dr. Phillips Center. “People in Central Florida get to see one of their own take the stage in a show that’s blown up around the world. It’s huge.”

If you haven’t heard, & Juliet takes Shakespeare’s classic and spins it on its head. What if Juliet didn’t follow the script? What if she wrote her own ending? The story bursts to life with a soundtrack packed with unstoppable pop hits from Max Martin. Think “…Baby One More Time,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”—all blasting through the theater.

You’ll see Fabiola Caraballo Quijada—she snagged the 2025 Jimmy Award®—taking on the role of Juliet. She leads a powerhouse cast that brings wild choreography, bold storytelling, and plenty of laughs to the Walt Disney Theater.

Joey’s not just famous for his music and acting. He’s also the man behind Fat Ones, his own Orlando-based hot dog spot, and he’s a regular at local events. He’s always been part of the Central Florida scene.

From dominating the charts with *NSYNC to starring on Broadway in RENT, Little Shop of Horrors, and now & Juliet, Fatone never stops. The & Juliet tour is now in its second year and is crisscrossing more than 40 cities in the U.S. and Canada, but Orlando stands out as one of the top stops on the map.

The creative team is stacked—David West Read (yep, the Emmy® winner from Schitt’s Creek) wrote the book, Luke Sheppard directs, and Jennifer Weber—an Emmy Award® winner herself—handles choreography. Since opening on Broadway in 2022, & Juliet has packed houses, smashed box office records, and grabbed nine Tony Award® nominations.

So yeah, Orlando’s in for a show—and with Joey Fatone back where it all started, it’s going to be one to remember.
