Jeremy Jordan Takes Center Stage on Broadway as Legendary ‘60s Singer

Jeremy Jordan has officially returned to Broadway.

Jordan reprised his role in The Great Gatsby from November 2025 to early March 2026, and on April 21, he made his debut in Just In Time.

Just In Time is a biopic play based on the life of Bobby Darin. Known for his songs “Mack the Knife” and “Beyond the Sea,” Darin comes to life in the nightclub atmosphere of New York City’s Circle in the Square theater.

Originally starring Jonathan Groff, the role of Darin was passed on to Glee alum Matthew Morrison, who played Darin for a limited three-week engagement. Now, Jordan has taken over for an open-ended run.

“What a thrill it was to finally share my version of this show with an audience for the first time,” Jeremy said to People. “And what a gift this role and this company have been, challenging in all the good ways and just chock full of love and delight.”

Just in Time begins with Jordan rising from beneath the stage, and he told People, “they may as well have shot me out of a cannon.”

“It honestly feels like nothing I’ve ever done before, and I can’t wait to continue to take this ride each and every night,” Jordan said.

Directed by Alex Timbers, the show tells the story of not only Darin’s songs, but also the man behind them. People called Darin “the tragic teen idol” and “a man in a hurry.”

As a child, Darin overheard a doctor say he would live a short life. This fueled him to live his life to the fullest, and by the age of 22, he became famous with his hit song “Splish Splash.”

“The way we’re kind of weaponizing his story in our show is: He accomplished a lot in a short period of time because he had this ticking clock,” Groff told People. “What we’re hoping to give the audience is this message: Life is short. Live it to the fullest while you can.”

Alongside Jordan, Just in Time stars Isa Briones (known for her role as Dr. Trinity Santos in The Pitt) as Connie Francis and Carrie St. Louis as Sandra Dee. Get tickets for the show here.
