\n\t\u201cJust In Time,\u201d a biographical jukebox musical about the performer Bobby Darin, has recouped its entire production cost after just over a year on Broadway. The show, which earned a Tony nomination and plenty of raves for its star Jonathan Groff, was capitalized at $12.5 million. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJust In Time\u201d is the first musical of the 2024-2025 season to achieve profitability, an increasingly rare accomplishment these days. Only four other musicals to open since the pandemic, \u201cMJ,\u201d \u201cSix,\u201d \u201c& Juliet,\u201d and \u201cThe Outsiders,\u201d have managed to recoup on Broadway. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJust In Time\u201d garnered mixed reviews and failed to earn a Tony nomination for best musical. It was nominated in six other categories but went home with zero awards. However Groff, a Broadway favorite from \u201cMerrily We Roll Along,\u201d \u201cHamilton\u201d and \u201cSpring Awakening,\u201d was key in the show\u2019s popularity. During his final week as Bobby Darin, in late March, \u201cJust In Time\u201d reached its highest gross of more than $2 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeveloped and directed by Alex Timbers, \u201cJust In Time\u201d began performances at Broadway\u2019s Circle in the Square Theatre on March 31 ahead of opening night on April 26. The venue, which the musical cheekily references as the basement of \u201cWicked,\u201d was transformed into an intimate and immersive night club, complete with a live band and ensemble of 16 to perform Darin\u2019s hits like \u201cSplish Splash,\u201d \u201cBeyond the Sea,\u201d \u201cMack the Knife\u201d and \u201cDream Lover.\u201d Darin, who rose fame during the 1950s and \u201960s, died in 1973 at age 37 due to complications from open heart surgery. \u201cJust in Time\u201d\u00a0is planning a North American tour, which will launch in June 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tMatthew Morrison (\u201cGlee\u201d) and Jeremy Jordan (a theater veteran who is currently starring as Darin) joined the show after Groff\u2019s exit. Other famous faces, like \u201cModern Family\u201d star Sarah Hyland and \u201cThe Pitt\u201d actor Isa Briones, were notable replacements in the role of singer Connie Francis.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are deeply grateful to everyone involved in the creation of\u00a0\u2018Just In Time.\u2019 From our first preview, we witnessed firsthand the electrifying audience response to our immersive Broadway show,\u201d said producers Tom Kirdahy\u00a0and\u00a0Robert Ahrens. \u201c\u2018Just In Time\u2019\u00a0delivers joy to audiences nightly.\u00a0 Bobby Darin lived an extraordinary life and created magic every time he stepped on stage. It continues to be a privilege to tell his story as we enter our second year on Broadway.\u201d<\/p>\n
