A source tells PEOPLE that Timberlake, 43, recently saw the Off-Broadway show The Play That Goes Wrong, a week after Biel, 42, took their sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4, to the show.
On Sunday, Sept. 1, Biel, Silas and Phineas saw the comedy, and the 7th Heaven alum "loved the show so much and wanted to come back," the source tells PEOPLE.
Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 11, Timberlake was joined by three other friends to watch the play's matinee showing.
The Play That Goes Wrong, played at the New World Stages, is described as a combination of Monty PythonandSherlock Holmes. "The troupe's ambitious 1920s whodunit has everything you never want in a show: falling props, collapsing scenery, an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and actors who trip over everything…including their lines," reads the official synopsis.

The "Mirrors" singer was arrested in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on June 18 and charged with driving while intoxicated. The "Selfish" singer was booked on one count of DWI and two citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. His lawyer Edward Burke Jr. has maintained that Timberlake was "not intoxicated" when he was arrested.
Then, at an August hearing, Timberlake's license was suspended for a year in the state of New York, which his attorney said was "standard with every DUI."
A source told PEOPLE on Wednesday that the Grammy winner was motivated to accept "a plea deal because he wants to move on."
"He's a family man, and this is his focus," the source told PEOPLE. "The court case has been a distraction. He doesn't want his family to be affected by it."
