Overview

• Jonathan Groff leads 'Just in Time' as Bobby Darin, blending his own persona with Darin’s in a meta-theatrical approach that highlights his charisma and vocal talent.
• The production transforms Circle in the Square Theatre into a 1950s nightclub, with scenic design by Derek McLane evoking Darin’s performance roots.
• Critics praise Groff’s magnetic stage presence and the show’s celebration of live music, but note the narrative sacrifices depth, especially in Darin’s later years.
• The jukebox musical format faces criticism for its formulaic structure, with some questioning the necessity of another Darin-focused production.
• Directed by Alex Timbers, the show features standout performances from its supporting cast, including Gracie Lawrence and Erika Henningsen, despite limited character development.
