Jonathan Groff Stars as Bobby Darin in Broadway's Just in Time

The new Broadway musical 'Just in Time' at Circle in the Square stars Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff as Bobby Darin, offering an energetic tribute to the famed singer's music and life. Rather than simply replicating Darin, Groff infuses the performance with his own charisma and versatility, drawing praise for a career-defining turn that anchors the show. The immersive nightclub staging enhances the celebration of Darin’s hits from the 1950s and 1960s, while the strong supporting cast, including Michele Pawk and Gracie Lawrence, add emotional depth. The musical touches on pivotal moments in Darin's life—his health struggles, family revelations, and artistic drive—without dwelling on tragedy, opting instead to honor his enduring artistry. Critics note that while the show excels as a concert and entertainment, it prioritizes homage over deep biographical exploration. Ultimately, 'Just in Time' succeeds as a vibrant showcase for both Groff and Darin’s legacies.
