It has been announced that two-time Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award nominee Jeremy Jordan will star as Bobby Darin in the record-breaking, award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated smash hit musical JUST IN TIME from 21 April at Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre.
Tony-winner Jonathan Groff stars as Bobby Darin until 29 March.
Director Alex Timbers said: “I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Jeremy Jordan to Just in Time—his talent, charisma, and emotional fearlessness make him the perfect artist to step into the role of Bobby Darin. We're excited to tailor the show to Jeremy's many gifts and make a version of the show unique to him. Watching Jeremy bring Bobby’s swagger, vulnerability, and musical brilliance to life on Broadway is going to be electric, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”
