‘The All-New Mickey Mouse Club’ Cast: Then And Now

Disney Channel’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s set Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell, JC Chasez and the rest of the cast up for superstar careers.

Casting director Matt Casella scoured the country for America’s most talented kids, and the 35 who made it filmed in front of a live studio audience from 1989-1994 at the then-brand-new Disney-MGM Studios.

The All-New Mickey Mouse Club cast was schooled on-set and considered Walt Disney World their playground as they sang and danced, acted in Saturday Night Live-style skits and hosted segments on New Kids On The Block, Donald Trump and Christie Brinkley.

“Being in the show was boot camp for the entertainment industry,” Spears said in her 2023 memoir The Woman In Me.

And there were the spinoff music groups. First was The Party, 1990-1993, and 2013-present, comprised of Albert Fields, Chasen Hampton, Deedee Magno, Damon Pampolina, and the late Tiffini Hale, who reached #34 on the Billboard charts with Dokken cover “In My Dreams.”

The Party released four albums and toured with hitmakers of the day, Color Me Badd, Taylor Dayne and Vanilla Ice. Not only was Nicole Richie a major fan (she tweeted “does ANYONE remember the band The Party? Please someone say yes.”), but the late Artist Formerly Known As Prince couldn’t get enough of them, and regularly requested their song “Frontin’” at a Beverly Hills nightclub, the group told OK! in 2013.

In 1993, the show launched music group MMC, which featured Chasez, Rhona Bennett, Nita Booth, Dale Godboldo, Tony Lucca, Ricky Luna, Matt Morris and Jennifer McGill. The act toured malls and Target stores bringing their smooth vocals and dance moves. McGill’s song, “Hanging On For Dear Life,” was featured in the 1993 movie My Boyfriend’s Back.

After the show came to a halt in October 1994, those who would be stars went into career-saving overdrive.

Here’s a glimpse of what The All-New Mickey Mouse Club cast is up to now:

Britney Spears

Starting out as a member of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club cast, Spears shot to fame with her hit single “…Baby, One More Time” in 1998, and has remained firmly in the spotlight ever since, releasing nine albums, headlining ten concert tours and thriving in two Las Vegas residencies.

In 2021, her 13+ year conservatorship ended, and in 2023 she released her bombshell memoir The Woman In Me, in which she details an abortion Timberlake forced her to have when their music careers were beginning.

Justin Timberlake

This The All-New Mickey Mouse Club cast member went on to *NSYNC, who released three studio albums including their self-titled debut in 1998, No Strings Attached in 2000 and Celebrity in 2001, in addition to their 1998 Christmas collection Home For Christmas. No Strings held the title of biggest single week sales at 2.4 million copies until Adele broke it in 2015.

Spears and Timberlake were America’s golden couple from 1999-2002.

The ten-time Grammy Award winner forged a solo career bolstered in part by “Cry Me A River,” a track in which he implied Spears cheated on him.

He has released five solo albums including 2002’s Justified, 2006’s FutureSex/LoveSounds, 2013’s The 20:20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 and 2018’s Man of The Woods and embarked on five tours.

A member of SNL’s Five-Timer’s Club, he won four Emmy Awards for his stints on the show.

Christina Aguilera

Post-show, Aguilera returned to her Disney roots with the single “Reflection” for 1998’s animated film Mulan before releasing her 1999 self-titled debut, which included the hits “Genie In A Bottle,” “What A Girl Wants” and “I Turn To You.”

She joined Timberlake for their 2003 Justified and Stripped tour, promoting albums of the same names.

The five-time Grammy winner has released nine studio albums, headlined six tours and held two Las Vegas residencies.

Ryan Gosling

Gosling appeared on Breaker High from 1997-1998 and Young Hercules, which aired 1998-1999.

He is a two-time best actor in a leading role Oscar nominee (for 2006’s Half Nelson and for 2016’s La La Land. Other major films include 2004’s The Notebook, 2012’s Place Beyond The Pines and 2018’s First Man.

Recently, Gosling transformed into Ken for the 2023 blockbuster Barbie, in which he sang “I’m Just Ken.”

JC Chasez

Because there was already a Josh in The All-New Mickey Mouse Club cast, he adopted the stage name of JC. As part of boy band *NSYNC, whose hits included “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” “Bye Bye Bye,” “Gone” and “Girlfriend,” Chasez struck out solo with the release of 2004’s Schizophonic.

He met up with his castmates behind the scenes in 2019 when he attended the #MMC30 Reunion at Mega-Con in Orlando.

Keri Russell

Best known for 1998-2002 coming-of-age drama Felicity for which she won a Golden Globe, Russell remains tight with the gang, citing Ilana Miller and Lindsey Alley as her best friends in a 2023 interview with W Magazine.
