*New York City – June 7, 2026* – Joey Fatone and JC Chasez, two of the original members of the popular boy band *NSYNC, shared their insights on a possible jukebox musical inspired by their iconic discography during the 2026 Tony Awards. The event, held at Rockefeller Center, provided a sparkling backdrop for their musings on bringing the band’s music to the theatrical stage.

Fatone and Chasez, both 49, took a moment on the red carpet to envision what such a production could entail. Fatone suggested that the musical could be titled “Bye, Bye, Bye,” borrowing from the band’s chart-topping single released in 2000. Chasez chimed in with a more literary take, proposing that if the musical were to have a Shakespearean flair, it might be fittingly dubbed “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” He claimed, “We have a love story waiting right there,” alluding to the emotional depths of *NSYNC’s songs.

The conversation took a light-hearted turn when Fatone joked about another potential title, “No Strings Attached”, cleverly suggesting a puppet-inspired concept. Chasez entertained the idea, suggesting it could be a reimagining of the classic Pinocchio tale. The playful banter provided insight into their creative chemistry and passion for theatre.
Both artists expressed their enthusiasm for jukebox musicals in general, with Fatone stating, “It’s fun.” He elaborated on his excitement to return to Broadway with his role as Lane in & Juliet, slated to begin again on July 2. Fatone described the experience as a joy, highlighting his fondness for the cast and crew, which further underscores his commitment to the performing arts.
In addition to discussing potential projects, Chasez revealed that he is actively working on a new Broadway musical. He acknowledged that creating a musical is a time-consuming process but expressed hope that he and Fatone would again walk the red carpet as producers in the near future.
Both Fatone and Chasez are currently co-producing the musical Titanique, which intertwines the narrative of the classic Titanic film with *NSYNC’s music. Their investment in this project demonstrates their continued relevance in the entertainment industry, bridging the gap between pop music and theatrical storytelling.
In a nostalgic moment, Fatone recently reunited with fellow *NSYNC member Lance Bass to perform “It’s Gonna Be Me,” celebrating the song as part of a month-long tribute linked to the Broadway show & Juliet. The collaboration not only highlights their enduring friendship but also their desire to remain connected to their roots in pop music.
Chasez has previously voiced his ambitions to adapt his Frankenstein-inspired album, Playing with Fire, into a stage musical. In a candid conversation last October, he disclosed, “My current focus is Playing with Fire. That’s where I’ve gone all in.” He also mentioned another project titled The Best of All Possible Worlds, showcasing his dedication to breathing life into innovative stories through musical theatre.
As the duo continues to explore their creative aspirations, both Fatone and Chasez remain integral figures in the evolving landscape of Broadway and music. Their playful discussion at the Tony Awards has sparked excitement among fans eager to see how their ideas may materialise into full-fledged productions in the future.
The love for storytelling shared by Fatone and Chasez, whether through a potential *NSYNC musical or their ongoing projects, resonates with audiences, ensuring their legacy in the entertainment world continues.
