What Happened
The Broadway musical "Just In Time" recouped its entire $12.5 million production cost after just over one year on Broadway. It is the first musical of the 2024-2025 season to achieve profitability. The show began performances at Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre on March 31, with its opening night on April 26. During Jonathan Groff's final week... the show reached a weekly gross of more than $2 million. The musical was nominated in six Tony Award categories but received zero awards.
Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy Broadway or live music, this success suggests a robust market for biographical musicals and could encourage similar productions. The planned North American tour starting in June 2027 may bring the show to a city near you, offering a new entertainment option. The show's financial recovery is a positive signal for the broader Broadway industry, which has seen only four other musicals recoup since the pandemic.
What's Next
The production is planning a North American tour to launch in June 2027. Following Jonathan Groff's exit, Matthew Morrison (“Glee”) and Jeremy Jordan joined the show, and Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”) and Isa Briones (“The Pitt”) were replacements in the role of Connie Francis.
