NEW YORK (WABC) -- Joey Fatone has gone from performing onstage in one of the biggest boy bands of the '90s to the bright lights of Broadway.

The NSYNC star is now starring in "& Juliet" and stepping into the role of Lance in his return to Broadway for the first time in two decades.

"It's been over 20 years since I've been on Broadway, I used to be the younger-ish one on Broadway, now I'm the not so younger-ish one," Fatone said.

Fatone said ironically, he sings Backstreet Boys songs as part of the role.

"AJ is fine with it, I'm sure Nick's fine with it, I don't know about the other guys, sorry if I mess them up, if I screw them up, or I might sing them better. No disrespect," Fatone said.

Fatone said he is at a point in life where he is happy.

"I love what I do, and I get to do what I love, and it's exciting and it's very rewarding," he said. "And having a team and having support behind that as well. You need that around. You know, you want that positive energy."

As for the NSYNC fans who are hoping for a proper reunion tour?

"If that ever happens, you'll be the one to know, trust me, because for us, it's like having the conversation," Fatone said. "We haven't the conversation yet. And hopefully that that time will come."
