Just in Time, a bio-musical about Bobby Darin, showcases Jonathan Groff's deep passion for the singer. From the outset, Groff expresses his admiration, indicating his personal connection to Darinâs life and music. The production serves as a vehicle for Groff to explore his interest in Darin, whose life was marked by fame and a tragic early death. While the musical offers standard storytelling, it resonates with audiences familiar with Darin's legacy, bolstered by Groff's energetic performance, underscoring the importance of genuine connection in theatrical productions.
It's easy for a show to lose its sense of purpose somewhere along the way to Broadway: The director lost whatever artistic impulse they had at the start.
Onstage, Groff tells his audience he grew up in Amish Pennsylvania, dancing along to his father's Darin records in his mom's pumps.
