WHERE ARE THEY NOW: All of the '90s Mouseketeers

"The All-New Mickey Mouse Club," which featured young performers including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera before they were pop icons, was a reboot of the 1955 variety series "The Mickey Mouse Club."

After the original show's run ended in 1959, there was another imagining, named "The New Mickey Mouse Club," between 1977 and 1979.

The third version, which started in 1989, featured comedy sketches, parodies, music videos, celebrity guests, and a cast full of soon-to-be stars.

Starting from the first cast in 1989 up until the show's last season was filmed in 1994, here are the stars of "The All New-Mickey Mouse Club" and what they're up to now.

While growing up in Texas, McGill had "almost a clean sweep of nearly 50 pageant victories from age seven," according to her website. At one pageant, an agent approached her and her mom and asked if she'd audition for "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club," which she joined when she was 10.

She said the show made her an"unsuccessful perfectionist" during a 2021 interview with InnerTeenment News.

"I became an unsuccessful perfectionist when it came to my shape and comparing myself to the thinner, smaller ladies on the show," she said.

This had a lasting impact on the way she viewed herself.

"I learned that I wasn't as valuable because of the way I looked. Now I know that is wrong now ... It's been a huge struggle for me, but I'm turning it into a helpful, learning experience for other people," she said.

Following her time on the show, she went to New York University to take a break from Hollywood.

After the death of her mother when McGill was 24, her life "was sent into an absolute tailspin of insecurity and loss," according to her website.

This, along with other life-struggles, inspired her to help others not go through life's challenges alone. She is now a worship speaker and has worked on events such as the Bravehearted Girls: The Warrior Princess Quest in 2016. The event was designed for parents and guardians who want to help their daughters grow their relationship with God.

She released her debut album,"Unbreakable," in 2017 and she still performs today. She recently opened for a September 2021 reunion concert for The Party, a group that was founded in 1990 by the Disney Channel. The members were all from season one of "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club."

Like the rest of the Mouseketeers, Ackerman sang, danced, and acted while on the show, but he expressed an interest in what went on behind the scenes.

"What I really gravitated towards was being in the edit bay after something was shot ... When I wasn't rehearsing for a song or a dance or learning lines, I loved being in the edit bays, I loved spending time with the camera guys, I loved being in the writers' room," he said in a 2014 interview with TV Goodness.

While he did go on to have small acting roles in films and shows such as "Pearl Harbor" and "Entourage," his behind-the-scenes experiences on the show foreshadowed his future as a director and producer.

He has directed and produced a slew of TV shows, and he co-founded Bodega Pictures, an independent production company, with film producer Ben Nurick.

He is currently the executive producer for TLC's "You, Me and My Ex," according to IMDb.

Prior to "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club," Alley played Patsy in the film "Ernest Saves Christmas" in 1988.

Since her time on the show, Alley has been busy: attending college, appearing in Broadway shows, and playing roles in TV shows and movies, as well as working behind the scenes, according to her website and IMDb.

She continues to reference her time as a Mouseketeer in her work: In 2006, she starred in her own one-woman show, "Look, Ma...No Ears!" In recent years, she's toured with her comedy show "Blood, Sweat & Mouseketears."

Among her TV appearances, she's been in the award-winning sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" and "Jessica Jones."

In 2020, she reunited with 16 fellow Mouseketeers for a Christmas album, "Why? Because It's Christmas," to benefit people severely affected by COVID-19.

Hale appeared on "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club" consistently until 1991.

She and four other Mouseketeers were chosen to be a part of the first band signed to Disney's Hollywood Record label: The Party. The group released three original albums between 1990 and 1992 and saw moderate success. Their cover of Dokken's "In My Dreams" was the band's most successful hit peaking at No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100.

For the show's fourth season, Hale and the rest of The Party were featured in segments on the show.

Hale remained out of the public eye in the years following her time on the show and in the band, who reunited in 2013 without her.

Hale died on December 25, 2021, according to a post on The Party's official Facebook page.

"Early this month, she suffered a cardiac arrest that resulted in her being left in a coma. After many prayers and with her family by her side, our dearest Tiff took her last breath Christmas morning. She is now resting peacefully," read the post.

Her costars also posted online tributes. Fellow former Mouseketeer Chasen Hampton wrote on Instagram that "the wish of most young girls in the 90's was to be as sweet, as cool, as talented and gorgeous as Tiffini Hale."

"Part of her magic was that she never knew how incredible she truly was," he wrote. "She was humble, she was thoughtful and kind. She was playful and so funny. An incredible singer, character & dramatic actress , and when the music hit her dancing skills to me were unmatched by any female pop star since! She was an absolutely amazing performer & I'm so so honored to of had her in my life."

She was also a member of The Party, alongside some of her Mickey Mouse Club costars.

She played a classroom kid in the 1993 musical comedy "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" and appeared in shows in the mid- to late-'90s, including "Dellaventura" and "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child."

She voiced Snuggs on the popular Disney cartoon "Doc McStuffins" from 2016 to 2017. She has also won several Behind the Voice Actors Awards (BTVAs) for her role as Pearl in the animated series "Steven Universe" from 2013 to 2019.

She has also had an expansive theater career, acting in productions such as "Wicked," "Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular," and "Mamma Mia!"

In 2021, she teamed up with fellow former Mouseketeer Mylin Brooks-Stoddard to create and host "The All Things My-Dee Show." The YouTube series features "candid conversations about life experience, including discussions on identity, career, success, failure, faith and what it all means," according to its channel.

She also shared an Instagram tribute in honor of her former costar Tiffini Hale.

"Seeing all the photos, videos and memories online has been so heartwarming. I love and miss her so. I imagine her dancing and singing "I Found LOVE" in Heaven. Rest in Heavenly Peace, Sweet Tiffini," read the post.

His initial audition was for a movie about the original Mouseketeers titled, "Why? Because We Like You."

"They were looking for kids that look like the old Mouseketeers ... I was going for Lonnie [Burr]," he told Insider in January 2021.

However, the movie was canceled and Disney executives pivoted the concept to what became "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club." Hampton attributes some of his audition success to a chance meeting with casting directors.

"I was checking in and I saw the casting directors coming in at the other end of the lobby just randomly ... they were like 'Hey, are you here for the Mouse Club audition?' I was like, yeah, and they said, 'Come over here and audition right now,' and I'm like, 'Let's go,'" he said. "That moment right there for me was like my lightning bolt."

He appeared on the show from 1989 to 1991 before becoming a member of Disney's pop group The Party.

He, along with Tiffini Hale, returned as co-hosts for season seven.

The Party released three studio albums from 1989 to 1991 and made appearances on later seasons of "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club."

The group reunited in 2013 without Hale and began working on its fourth album. In 2019, they reunited during the MMC's 30th anniversary and again in 2021 for a concert at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida.

Hampton also released two solo EPs: "Something To Believe" in 2007 and "Drugstore Girls" in 2010.

Acting-wise, he guest-starred in popular shows of the early aughts such as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," "The X-Files," and "7th Heaven."

Today, he is still creating music and working on projects with The Party.

Pampolina was a Mousketeer and also a member of The Party.

He had been performing since he was 7 and initially auditioned for what was supposed to be "Why? Because We Like You," as well.

In a 2020 interview with "Worst Ever Podcast," Pampolina said he did not have the strongest vocals and was frequently given rap verses instead.

"Once I booked the show, I was trying to get my vocals better ... It was very intimidating there at the beginning to be around all those vocalists," he said.

Pampolina also recalled the intense rehearsals and a particularly rigorous week when the cast was rehearsing with the original Mousekeeters from the 1950s.

"That week was brutal and they were pushing us quite a bit, and it got to the point where I ended up passing out on the set," he said.

He has since had roles in shows such as "Nashville" and "Undressed."

He's also participated in the Disney show's various reunions over the years.

During his interview with "Worst Ever Podcast," he reflected fondly on the group's 2013 reunion.

"That was actually some of the best times of my life to be back with them, creating again, back in the studio, kind of therapeutic," he said.

He was on the show for four seasons, from 1989 to 1991, appearing with The Party during the fourth season of the show.

His solo album, "Back to Reality," featured the single "I'm da Man." The song was used on the soundtrack for the 1996 Robert De Niro film "The Fan."

In addition to her music career, she offers entertainment coaching services and shares advice videos on her YouTube page.

Speaking to Thrive Global in 2019, she said her time as a Mouseketeer taught her important career lessons.

"I think it definitely helped in the training aspects of it, just to be focused," she said. "To be focused on the goal that we're accomplishing. For me, it was mostly what I liked, mostly concentrated on getting from that rehearsal and learning the songs, doing all that stuff, to getting in front of the people, the lights, the camera. That's where I liked to be. That's what the focus really taught me."

He was born in Maryland and participated in theater as a child.

He was initially turned down for a part on the show.

"I originally auditioned when I was 9 or 10 ... I'm not a big guy and I definitely wasn't a big dude at 9 or 10. So the original one came through and they're like, 'Yeah, you know what? Maybe you're just not ready yet,'" Minor said in a 2019 interview with Thrive Global.

The casting director reached back out two years later and Minor got the role.

He was in a band with fellow Mouseketeer Blain Carson after the show, but he is now a wealth manager for Janney Montgomery.

He participated in the MMC reunion event and reflected fondly about his time on the show during his 2019 interview with Thrive Global.

"We were kids, just like everybody else was. We just got ridiculously blessed to be on such a cool show and have such an awesome opportunity as teenagers. So to come down and be a part of the reunion [...] We're going to be there. We're going to be in their face. We're going to share that experience with them," said Minor.

Dancing was her initial passion and the "only thing I was trained in," she said in a 2020 interview with Same Jones.

After the show, Bennett snagged a host of smaller roles in sitcoms such as "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "Living Single."

In 2003, she joined the already-established music group En Vogue after Amanda Cole left. Bennett left the group in 2008 when original member Dawn Robinson returned, but then she rejoined in 2012 and has been with the group ever since.

They also made a cameo in the 2021 comedy "Coming 2 America." The group performed a rendition of their hit single "Whatta Man" called "Whatta King" for the film.

JC Chasez got his start performing in talent shows and said the show was his first big break.

"It was the first audition I ever went out on, actually," he told Disney in a 2018 interview.

The group, which formed in 1995, sold over 70 million albums during its tenure, won multiple awards including album of the year for "No Strings Attached" at the 2000 Billboard Music Awards, and received eight Grammy nominations.

"I ended up on the show by chance," he said.

He said he was apprehensive about what he thought the "MMC" reunion show would entail.

"I tried out really against my will," he said. "I wasn't up for it. I had no idea Disney had rebooted the franchise to make it more modern. I was envisioning having to wear mouse ears, but it wasn't."

Lucca has released several albums. His third album, "Shotgun," was co-produced by former costar and fellow musician, JC Chasez.

He was *NSYNC's opening act in 2001 and 2002 and was reunited with fellow Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera in 2012 when he went on "The Voice," where he placed third overall.

He also sang on "Why? Because It's Christmas," which he also coproduced. It took months to pull together, he told the Detroit Free Press: "singing virtually, editing. It was hectic and a lot of work, but it was a labor of love."

In a 2019 interview with Thrive Global, he shared that working with such a talented group of kids helped him improve all-around.

"We had the opportunity to push each other to be better and a lot of healthy competition to just to improve in the areas where we can improve and always offered a handout to those that needed some help improving in areas," he said.

The group took a hiatus in May 2021 to adjust for the arrival of their daughter.

He also co-owns and serves as the creative director of an independent media and entertainment group.
