"Just in Time at the Circle in the Square Theatre is an utterly electrifying experience and a "wondrous musical" that transforms Broadway into a high-energy, 1950s-style nightclub. Led by a "sensational" and "magnetic" Jonathan Groff, the production is an immersive celebration of the life and music of Bobby Darin that feels more like an intimate cabaret act than a standard bio-musical.
A Masterclass in Showmanship
Jonathan Groff delivers one of the season's best performances, earning a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of the legendary crooner. He doesn't just sing; he "glides" and "grins" with a thousand-watt smile, demonstrating incredible versatility by playing the drums, piano, and even the xylophone during the show.
A Personal Connection: Groff begins the show as himself, breaking the fourth wall to explain his personal connection to Darin’s "thirst for performance" before sliding into the role.
The "Splash Zone": Known for his high-intensity performance style—jokingly referred to by fans as the "splash zone" because of his tendency to sweat and spit while singing—Groff leaves everything on the stage.
An Incredible Supporting Cast
The production is bolstered by a stellar ensemble and a live on-stage band that brings Darin’s iconic hits to life.
Sarah Hyland: Joining the cast in October 2025, Hyland has been praised for her "sensational" singing voice as Connie Francis.
Sadie Dickerson: Joining in September 2025, Dickerson brings a "commanding" presence to the role of Sandra Dee.
Michele Pawk: The Tony Award winner is described as "sensational" and "scene-stealing" in her role as Polly Walden.
The Sirens: A trio of backup dancers (Valeria Yamin, Christine Cornish, and Julia Grondin) provide "red-hot" energy and "slinky cabaret choreography" throughout the night.
Immersive Nightclub Atmosphere
The Circle in the Square has been redesigned by Derek McLane into a "swanky, smoky nightclub" with blue fabric walls, chic sconces, and cabaret-style seating."

Amazing
"Jonathan Groff was outstanding. While we were disappointed Sarah Hyland didn’t perform that day, the rest of the cast was fantastic. The music was absolutely perfect, the storytelling superb and the band was awesome. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry but you’ll also sing along. "

Jonathan Groff skillfully leads the cast and audience down memory lane!
"An incredible dream to see Jonathan Groff perform live. He does not disappoint.
Gabi Carrubba was a wonderful stand in playing Connie Francis. She hit the notes and continued as Connie as though she plays her every night.
Wonderfully joyful show in a time where we all need a good amount of joy!"

Jonathan Groff has the “It” Factor
"As one who sees a good number of shows, Just in Time stands out! Jonathan Groff is a special talent, but talented Broadway performers are many! What distinguishes him is his ability to sincerely connect with his audience, making us all feel that we are part of his dream to perform, aside from his wonderful portrayal of Bobby Darin. All of the performers compliment him so well. A truly special entertainment experience, to be certain. "

I saw it just in time.
"I loved this show. Not a bad seat in the house...unless you are in spitting range....Groff does have a powerful spit as he is singing and it is sometimes distracting.
Music was fantastic and I loved the story so much that after I left I went and researched all of the characters. It was worth every penny I paid."
