Not the approved story of NSYNC, but a brilliant pastiche almost explaining how maybe Chris Kirkpatrick reacted to the band's hiatus and Justin Timberlake's solo success. Performed by eight excellent women, echoing 'A Wonderful Life' and 'A Christmas Carol' the show lovingly mocks boy band hubris with clever songs which echo the band's hits. With great costumes, ridiculous 'male' makeup and hilarious wigs, we could be back in 2005. As the clock ticks down on Christmas eve, Chris Kirkpatrick has a choice to achieve redemption- it's so worth watching to see how it works out.
