TLC Working With Hamilton Musical For Their Upcoming Musical, Plan New TLC Music & TV Show

TLC revealed exclusively during a recent panel they were part of at ‘90s Con on Sunday (Sept 17) that the TLC musical that they have been working on will be a collaboration with the team behind the ground breaking Hamilton musical!

“We’re working on a Broadway play”, T-Boz stated when asked what plans TLC have in the works in the future. “The cool thing, we do have a lot of people that worked on Hamilton working with us for ours“, Chilli adds to the exciting announcement.

“I wanna audition!”, Joey Fatone of *NSYNC jokes after the initial announcement. Joey participated in the panel alongside TLC and Backstreet Boys’ Howie Dorough and AJ McLean.

The ladies were tight-lipped about any further details about their musical or which members of the Hamilton team they have been working with. However, T-Boz assured the crowd at the Tampa Convention Center in Florida that the musical would indeed come with some brand new TLC music.

“That means we’ll have new music for the play”, T-Boz confirms to the excited crowd who cheered and applauded the news.

To round off the announcement, T-Boz quickly adds, “And we’ll have a new TV show, which we can’t talk about [yet]”.

The Hamilton Broadway musical is a sung-and-rapped-through biographical musical with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Composed over a seven-year period from 2008 to 2015, the music draws heavily from hip-hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes.

TLC first revealed details of their plans to produce a TLC musical back in 2019 whilst promoting their ‘Whole Lotta Hits’ tour with Nelly and Flo Rida. “We didn’t tell everything. I mean, we have so many stories to tell that we didn’t tell in our biopic on VH1. But it’s a lot of stuff, a lot of good stuff”, Chilli said.

“It’s going to be very emotional, but like a good ride. I’m very excited about it. I almost can’t believe it!”

Are you looking forward to the upcoming TLC musical, music and TV show?
