Walk into the Circle in the Square Theatre for Just In Time, and you'll find yourself whisked away to a dazzling, nightclub-like scene. The theatre has been transformed with two stages and cabaret-style seating, with a big band on stage instead of in an orchestra pit.. Here, the audience isn’t just watching a musical; they’re stepping back in time to the swing era that Bobby Darin embodied so perfectly.
Initially presented as The Bobby Darin Story at the 92nd Street Y, the show began as a series of five concerts starring Jonathan Groff. Along with director Alex Timbers, music supervisor and arranger Andrew Resnick, and choreographer Shannon Lewis, they have meticulously crafted this production to capture the essence of Darin's thrilling yet all-too-brief career. The result is a vibrant journey back in time that showcases what made Bobby Darin an unforgettable icon.
