The Broadway musical 'Just in Time' stars Jonathan Groff and tells the story of iconic singer Bobby Darin, who tragically passed away at the young age of 37.

Producer Tom Kirdahy played a crucial role in acquiring the rights to Darin's life story, successfully navigating logistical challenges, including competition from another musical about Darin.

Kirdahy's pivotal lunch meeting with Darin's son, Dodd, was instrumental in securing the rights for the project.

With six Tony Award nominations, Groff's involvement in 'Just in Time' is particularly meaningful as he also serves as a producer on the show.

Kirdahy revealed that creating 'Just in Time' has been a way for him to cope with the loss of his husband, playwright Terrence McNally, who had encouraged the project before his death in 2020.

Groff's role as a gay actor leading the show enhances its connection across generations and demographics, addressing themes of queer representation amid current societal challenges.

Groff's passion for Darin began in childhood, motivating him to create a musical that reflects Darin's emotional and artistic spirit.

The musical emphasizes the importance of living a life well-lived and the preciousness of time, resonating deeply in today's societal context.

Both Kirdahy and Groff view 'Just in Time' as a testament to the power of live theater to foster community and shared experiences in a divided world.
