AJ McLean—of Backstreet Boys fame—hosts a sing-along performance of the hit Broadway musical & Juliet May 16 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
At the 7 PM performance, attendees will be encouraged to join the cast by belting out their favorite
Max Martin hits, which
include Backstreet Boys songs "I Want It That Way," "Show Me the
Meaning," "Everybody," "As Long As You Love Me," and "Shape of My
Heart."
The sing-along performance is part of a month-long “It’s Gonna Be May,” inspired by the N'SYNC song also featured in the musical. For tickets and more information, visit AndJulietBroadway.com.
The Broadway company currently features Tony nominee Maya Boyd as Juliet, Oliver Tompsett as William Shakespeare, Olivier winner David Bedella as Lance, Tony nominee Betsy Wolfe as Anne Hathaway, Justin David Sullivan as May, Charity Angél Dawson as Angélique, Ben Jackson Walker as Romeo, and Philippe Arroyo as Francois.

The hit musical, nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, flips the script on the William Shakespeare classic, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo.

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.
