We've got our first listen to Tony winner Jonathan Groff singing as iconic "Beyond the Sea" singer Bobby Darin. Hear the Merrily We Roll Along star cover the artist's signature song "Beyond the Sea" above. The production has also released recordings of Groff's takes on Darin's "Dream Lover" and "Just in Time" here.
Groff is set to star as Darin in Broadway's upcoming jukebox biomusical about the singer, Just in Time, with performances scheduled to begin March 28, 2025, ahead of an April 23 opening night at the Circle in the Square Theatre. Tony winner Alex Timbers will be at the helm of the immersive staging that will see the theatre transformed into an intimate nightclub with a live, onstage big band. The show tracks Darin's life story and will see Groff performing his greatest hits, also including "Splish Splash" and "Mack the Knife."
Newly announced to join Groff in the cast are Joe Barbara, Michele Pawk, Lance Roberts, Caesar Samayoa, Christine Cornish, Julia Grondin, Valeria Yamin, John Treacy Egan, Tari Kelly, Matt Magnusson, Khori Michelle Petinaud, and Larkin Reilly. Additional casting is to be announced.
The work, developed by Timbers and based on an original concept by Ted Chapin, features a book by Tony winner Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). Shannon Lewis will choreograph, with music supervision and arrangements by Andrew Resnick. Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens, John Frost, and Groff are producing. Further creative team members will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Groff won a Tony Award earlier this year for his performance in the Tony-winning revival of Merrily We Roll Along, and has also appeared on Broadway in Spring Awakening and Hamilton.
