The conversation delves into the creative process behind the show, as JC opens up about his transition from pop superstar to theater innovator, sharing what it’s been like to explore a new artistic avenue. Of course, the topic quickly turns to *NSYNC, and JC reflects on the band's legacy, their reunion at the 2023 VMAs, and what it’s like to see the continued love for their music.
