The Boy Band Project

Winner of the 2019 Broadway World Award
“Best Group”

The Boy Band Project, transports you back to a time when the boy band phenomenon dominated pop culture and TRL was appointment television. Delivered with their own special mix of handsomeness, tongue-in-cheek humor, and Broadway talent, these boys have been seen all over the world spreading their boy band love. Re-imagining the sound, movement, and energy of NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Hanson, One Direction, 98 Degrees, O-town, BoyzIIMen, Jonas Brothers and more, this musical thrill-fest features a group of boys direct from Broadway’s Wicked, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, The Book of Mormon, Altar Boyz, and Rock of Ages.

In 2019, they opened for US Pop star Todrick Hall on his “Haus Party Tour”. They’ve headlined residencies in Provincetown, Puerto Vallarta, Celebrity Cruises, Rehoboth Beach, and multiple New York City venues. Other notable performances include: Atlantis Cruises, Washington DC Pride, The Playstation Theatre, City Winery, 54 Below, Wheeler Opera House (Aspen), The Bourbon Room (Hollywood), The O2 Academy (London, UK), The House of Blues (Cleveland, OH), The Metro (Chicago), Parker Arts (Colorado), The Crest Theatre (Delray Beach, FL), and Avenel Performing Arts Center (Woodbridge, NJ).

The Boy Band Project started a popular weekly event in New York City called ‘Boy Band Brunch’ that garnered them the 2019 Broadway World Award for “Best Group”. The following year they received an astounding 8 nominations for the 2020 Broadway World Awards and won Best Original Song for their Holiday Hit “Jingle My Bells” and Best Ensemble Soloist, Chris Messina.

They’ve also been featured in The New York Times, Bartended on Andy’s Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, and in 2019 were featured on ”Good Morning America” along side The Backstreet Boys.
