Joey Fatone and Lance Bass Just Reunited on Broadway-and Fans Are Losing It Over Their ‘It's Gonna Be Me' Singalong

It's gonna be May! An impromptu concert on Broadway featured none other than NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

As reported byPEOPLE, the boy band icons reunited onstage during an &Juliet post-show sing-along to perform the group's hit track, "It's Gonna Be Me." The surprise reunion was even more special because Bass, who had been attending Broadway'sTitanique, managed to arrive just in time. He admitted, "I almost got hit by six taxicabs, but I made it by the last note!"

Joey and Lance's performance playfully referenced the "It's Gonna Be May" meme, which trends on social media every year on May 1st. The meme originated from the way Justin Timberlake pronounces the word "me" in the song. Both have an established Broadway presence: Fatone made his debut in Rent, starred in Little Shop of Horrors, and briefly played Lance DuBois in &Juliet in 2025. Bass debuted as Corny Collins in Hairspray in 2007 and is currently co-producing Titanique with fellow NSYNC member JC Chasez.

Recently, NSYNC fans have enjoyed an abundance of on- and off-screen appearances from the beloved group members. Fatone's docuseries, Boy Band Confidential, which debuted this April on the Investigation Discovery channel, offers an exclusive look at the pitfalls of boy band fame through interviews with Fatone, Bass, and members of other iconic groups from the 1990s and 2000s. Fatone also performed at this year's NBA All-Star Weekend in February.

Additionally, Chasez appeared at Rewind Washington in March, marking his first-ever convention appearance. Chris Kirkpatrick is currently performing alongside O-Town, BBMAK, LFO, and Ryan Cabrera on the Pop 2000 Tour. Meanwhile, Timberlake has made headlines recently following his 2024 DWI arrest and rumored marital issues with his wife, Jessica Biel.

NSYNC fans can look forward to seeing more of Joey Fatone and Lance Bass as co-hosts of their upcoming mixology competition series,Cocktail Wars, airing on E! this summer.
