Newly released photos take us inside the rehearsal room for Broadway's upcoming Bobby Darin jukebox biomusical Just In Time, due to begin previews March 28 ahead of an April 23 official opening at the Circle in the Square Theatre. See Jonathan Groff prepare to croon it up as Darin in the gallery below.
Tony winner Alex Timbers is 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 Tony winner Jonathan Groff performing his greatest hits, including "Beyond the Sea," "Splish Splash," and "Mack the Knife."
Starring Groff as Darin, the musical will also feature Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls), Tony winner Michele Pawk (Wicked), Joe Barbara (A Bronx Tale The Musical), Drama Desk nominee Emily Bergl (Good Night, Oscar), Gracie Lawrence (The Sex Lives of College Girls), 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).
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.
The production will also feature scenic design by two-time Tony winner Derek McLane (Death Becomes Her), costume design by eight-time Tony winner Catherine Zuber (Moulin Rouge!), lighting design by Tony winner Justin Townsend (Here Lies Love), and sound design by Tony winner Peter Hylenski (Maybe Happy Ending).
Scott Rowen is the production stage manager, and Live Wire Theatrical is the general manager. Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens, John Frost, and Groff are producing.
Groff won a Tony Award last 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.
