Just in Time has recouped its $12.5 million capitalization, becoming the first Broadway musical of the 2024-25 season to reach that milestone.
The musical, about singer Bobby Darrin, began performances March 31, 2025, at Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre, and opened April 26, with Jonathan Groff originating the role of Darrin and singing hits such as “Beyond the Sea” and “Splish Splash.” The musical, directed by Alex Timbers, has been well attended throughout its run and has broken multiple weekly box office gross records at the theater.
The musical hit its highest gross, of just over $2 million, during Groff’s final week in the show at the end of March, but even in recent weeks has been bringing in more than $800,000. Matthew Morrison took over Groff’s role for several weeks. Jeremy Jordan currently stars as Darrin.
The recoupment marks a rarity among musicals, as production costs have risen, making it difficult for many shows to recoup, or even to stay open. Just in Time is only the musical to have announced recoupment from its season and one of only a few in the recent years to reach that milestone, including The Outsiders (from the 2024-25 season), Six (2021-22) MJ (2021-22) & Juliet and Moulin Rouge!
Three shows from the 2025-26 season have recouped their capitalization, but all have been celebrity-driven plays. The most recent was Every Brilliant Thing, starring Daniel Radcliffe, which announced its recoupment of its $5.75 million Broadway capitalization in early May.
In addition to Jordan, the current cast of Just in Time includes The Pitt‘s Isa Briones, Carrie St. Louis, Debbie Gravitte, Joe Barbara. Emily Bergl, Lance Roberts and Caesar Samayoa.
“We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in the creation of Just in Time. From our first preview we witnessed firsthand the electrifying audience response to our immersive Broadway show. Just in Time delivers joy to audiences nightly. obby Darin lived an extraordinary life and created magic every time he stepped on stage. It continues to be a privilege to tell his story as we enter our second year on Broadway,” said producers Tom Kirdahy and Robert Ahrens.
Just in Time will launch a North American Tour in June 2027.
