Fatone is playing a nine-week engagement with a final performance
set for March 16. The performance is Fatone's third on the Main Stem, following earlier runs in Rent and Little Shop of Horrors.
The jukebox musical & Juliet draws
from the song catalogue of frequent pop songwriter, and frequent NSYNC
collaborator, Martin for its score.
The current Broadway company of & Juliet also includes Maya Boyd as Juliet, Alison Luff as Anne, Drew Gehling as Shakespeare, Liam Pearce as Romeo, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Jeannette Bayardelle as Angélique, and Nathan Levy as François.

Nominated for nine Tony Awards,
including Best Musical, & Juliet flips the script on the William Shakespeare
classic, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all
over Romeo. Featuring a book by David West Read, the score includes a
mix of tunes by Martin and more, including “Since U Been Gone,”
“Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Confident.”
The production also has direction by Luke Sheppard, choreography by Jennifer Weber, musical supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Bill Sherman, scenic design by Soutra Gilmour, costume design by Paloma Young, lighting design by Howard Hudson, sound design by Gareth Owen, video projection design by Andrzej Goulding, hair, wig, and makeup design by J. Jared Janas, and musical direction and additional orchestrations by Dominic Fallacaro.
U.S. casting is by Stephen Kopel and Carrie Gardner.
The international hit, which opened at the Sondheim November 17, 2022, was the first new musical of the 2022–2023 Broadway season to announce its recoupment.
