Just in Time (musical)

Just in Time is a jukebox musical based on the life of American singer Bobby Darin, with a book by Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver.
The musical premiered on April 23, 2025, at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre. The show starts with the lead performer portraying himself in 2025, and then goes back to the 1950s and 1960s to tell Darin's story.
Origins and development
The musical originated as The Bobby Darin Story, a series of five concerts in 2018 at the 92nd Street Y starring Jonathan Groff as Darin, who has since developed it with Timbers, alongside music supervision and arrangements by Andrew Resnick and choreography by Shannon Lewis. On November 11, 2024, a benefit concert performance previewing Just in Time was held at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia. In December 2024, Billboard shared a preview of three of Groff's songs recorded for the musical: "Beyond the Sea", "Dream Lover", and "Just in Time". Other songs featured in the production include "Splish Splash" and "Mack the Knife".
Production history
Based on an original concept by Ted Chapin, the musical premiered on April 23, 2025, at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre, with Alex Timbers as director and Jonathan Groff in the lead role as Darin.
Groff also serves as one of the production's producers, alongside Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens, and John Frost, with previews from March 28, 2025. For the production, the theatre has been transformed into "an immersive nightclub-like destination" with two stages, a cabaret-style seating plan, and a big band on stage.
