More About Just In Time
Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
Bringing a modern twist to the classic era of big band and swing, Just In Time promises to take Broadway audiences on a journey through the life of Bobby Darin. With Jonathan Groff as its star, this production is a tribute to a performer who lived to entertain. Groff's charisma pairs perfectly with the energetic ambiance of a live big band setting, creating a feel-good atmosphere that's hard to resist. Whether you're a long-time Broadway enthusiast or a newcomer eager to check out the latest production, this show's winning combination of Groff's compelling performance and the iconic music of Bobby Darin is bound to hit the mark.
For Just In Time, the Circle in the Square Theatre has been transformed into a dazzling nightclub. The theatre's setup, boasting two stages and a cabaret-style seating arrangement, allows for an unparalleled experience. With the band stationed on stage, audiences are not just watching a musical; they are being enveloped in the era of swing that Bobby Darin so epitomized.
Originally presented as The Bobby Darin Story at the 92nd Street Y, the show began as a series of five concerts starring Jonathan Groff. Teaming up with director Alex Timbers, music supervisor and arranger Andrew Resnick, and choreographer Shannon Lewis, they've meticulously crafted this production to capture the essence of Darin’s thrilling yet tragically short career. The result is a show that highlights what made Bobby Darin an unforgettable icon—a trip back in time in the most exhilarating way possible.
