Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff returns to Broadway this spring as Bobby Darin in Just In Time. Broadway Direct caught up with him and the company of the upcoming Broadway show to discuss how the new musical will transform the Circle in the Square Theatre and what we can expect from Groff’s turn as Darin.
In addition to Groff, the cast features Gracie Lawrence (The Sex Lives of College Girls), Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls), Tony Award winner Michele Pawk (Wicked), Joe Barbara (A Bronx Tale The Musical), Drama Desk Award nominee Emily Bergl (Good Night, Oscar), Lance Roberts (The Music Man), Caesar Samayoa (Come From Away), Christine Cornish (Kiss Me, Kate), Julia Grondin (Funny Girl), Valeria Yamin (Moulin Rouge!), John Treacy Egan (My Fair Lady), Tari Kelly (Mr. Saturday Night), Matt Magnusson (A Wonderful World), Khori Michelle Petinaud (Lempicka), and Larkin Reilly (Bad Cinderella).
Developed and directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical), Just In Time will transform Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre into an intimate night club where the great American entertainer’s meteoric journey – from soaring highs to crushing lows – is brought to life by Groff, a cast of 16, and features a live on-stage band performing Bobby Darin’s iconic hits including “Beyond the Sea,” “Splish Splash,” “Dream Lover,” and “Mack the Knife.”
