Just in Time is an upcoming jukebox musical based on the life of American singer Bobby Darin, with a book by Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver. Based on an original concept by Ted Chapin, the musical is scheduled to have its premiere on April 23, 2025, at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre, with Alex Timbers as director and Jonathan Groff in the lead role as Darin.[1] Groff also serves as one of the production's producers, alongside Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens, and John Frost, with previews set to begin on March 28, 2025.[1] For the production, the theatre will be transformed into an "an immersive nightclub-like destination" with two stages, a cabaret-style seating plan, and a big band on stage.[2] The cast of 16 also includes Joe Barbara, Michele Pawk, Lance Roberts, Caesar Samayoa, Christine Cornish, Julia Grondin, Valeria Yamin, John Treacy Egan, Tari Kelly, Matt Magnusson, Khori Michelle Petinaud, and Larkin Reilly.[3]

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][2][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]
