ust in Time is a jukebox musical based on the life of American singer Bobby Darin, with a book by Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver.
The musical premiered on April 23, 2025, at Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre.[1] The show starts with lead performer Jonathan Groff portraying himself in 2025, and then goes back to the 1950s and 1960s to tell Darin’s story.[2]
Origins and development
The musical originated as The Bobby Darin Story, a series of five concerts in 2018 at the 92nd Street Y starring Groff as Darin, who has since developed it with Timbers, alongside music supervision and arrangements by Andrew Resnick and choreography by Shannon Lewis.[1][3][4] On November 11, 2024, a benefit concert performance previewing Just in Time was held at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia.[5] In December 2024, Billboard shared a preview of three of Groff’s songs recorded for the musical: “Beyond the Sea“, “Dream Lover“, and “Just in Time“.[6] Other songs featured in the production include “Splish Splash” and “Mack the Knife“.[1]
