Just in Time

Now at Circle in the Square Theatre, *Just in Time* is a Broadway jukebox musical that uses the catalog and public story around singer Bobby Darin to track his rise, reinventions, and the costs of being a pop figure in mid-century America. The book, by Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver, frames the songs as evidence rather than decoration. In New York, where Darin’s era was shaped by its clubs and recording rooms, the show reads as a compact piece of cultural memory. Its best moments treat celebrity as a construction, not a conclusion.
