Jonathan Groff is returning to Broadway! The Tony winner is set to star in Just In Time, a new musical about the life and times of singer Bobby Darin, Variety reports. The Circle in the Square Theatre will be transformed into “an intimate and immersive night club, complete with a live band and ensemble of 16″ to perform the legendary songwriter’s hits like “Splish Splash,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Mack the Knife” and “Dream Lover.” Moulin Rouge director Alex Timbers is developing and directing the show. Here’s a summary: The show will follow the “great American entertainer’s meteoric journey — from soaring highs to crushing lows […] whose short but remarkable life took him from teen idol to global sensation, inspiring generations of performers who followed.” “Bobby Darin was a supernova. He blazed his way through every corner of the entertainment industry, but his enormous talent, charisma, and pure genius were most on display when he was letting it rip in front of a crowd. This primal passionate love affair he had with the audience was the inspiration for our show’s conceit,” said Jonathan Groff, who is also serving as a producer on the project, in a statement. “Alex Timber’s distinctive ability to make going to the theater an unforgettable event and Bobby’s signature musicality and explosive fleeting life make Broadway the perfect place to experience the story and essence of this once in a lifetime talent.” Just In Time will open on April 23, 2025, with previews beginning on March 28.
