The producers of & Juliet on Broadway announced today that Tony Award Winner James Monroe Iglehart will join the company of the smash hit musical as ‘Lance’ this August. Iglehart will debut in the role on Tuesday, August 5 to play a limited 13 week engagement through November 2, 2025. As previously announced, entertainer and *NSYNC pop icon Joey Fatone will play his final performance in the production on Thursday, July 31.

Iglehart was most recently seen on Broadway as ‘Louis Armstrong’ in A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, a role for which he received a Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
