Jonathan Groff in Just In Time
Jul 2
2025, 04:22:51 PM
Nothing’s been announced, so nobody knows for sure. Although this is technically the Bobby Darin show, it’s the Jonathan Groff show, and I don’t know who could do it like he’s doing it. He sings, dances, acts, plays multiple instruments and SELLS TICKETS. I assume it’ll close once he’s done, but I guess we shall see.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/29/25

Another random thought: I don’t think we’re giving Groff enough credit. Hamilton was Hamilton. Merrily had Radcliffe. This is all his, and he’s selling the heck out of it. As much as he was a success before, I think this solidifies him as a fully bankable name.

I just unfollowed him a few days ago after I accidentally found he liked a instagram post that promoted (insert forbidden words here)"
Honestly was kind of waiting for the shoe to drop here, but I was hopeful. He comes from a very religious, conservative family, but he himself seems more open. Disappointed but not surprised.

NYT feature on Jordan Roth: A Broadway Big Shot Is Now Reinventing Himself

It’s very interesting that his husband’s book is basically all about him being gay, but now Roth doesn’t seem to be identifying as anything in particula

Gotta say that I find him insufferable. Used to follow him on social media, but he very clearly loves himself and the praise he gets from others. I suppose that’s not a bad thing when it’s balanced with some humility, but I couldn’t find any. His is a world of air kisses and posing.

'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' at PAC reviews

Jordan Catalano said: "On their IG, the show got Nikki Blonsky to do a cameo saying “the Jellicle Ball is about to begin”.
Brilliant marketing."
That whole video is insane. She has no idea who she’s sending that cameo to and if she’s not actually in the production, it kinda feels messed up to use her for it. I mean, she literally sings for them.

Pretty sure Joshua Henry was the workshops Burr.

Just watched the 92 St Y conversation with creatives and Groff and interestingly, Groff just talked about “the person who plays Bobby next.” I honestly just assumed they’d close the show after he leaves. He essentially is the show. Thoughts about anyone who can do it like he’s doing it?

While I don’t condone what he did when he cheated, that has no affect on my opinion of his performance, and the performance itself was so lackluster.
There’s a desperation where he’s trying to hard with random jumping jacks and every song from Greatest Showman under the sun to be “hip.” A couple of songs from that? Fine. The entire soundtrack? Ridiculous. Jumping jacks to NSync? No. I’m aware the song was in Deadpool, but there was a dance in th

Yes the choreography and cast haveelectric energy. But it is reminiscent of a Beyonce concert more than anything else... and I can't decide if that is good or bad. The one thing I found walking away was I enjoyed the singing and choreography but I didn't care one bit for any of the characters. Che went for nothing. He sounded grea

It was like someone asked Siri to write a musical stealingthe plot of Roman Holiday but "in the style" of Barbie, only tackier. It's incrediblylong and subplots and supporting characters just kept spawning up out of nowhere. The Comic-Con, Times Square, and "political" scenes were particularly humiliating.

They started recording the cast album today. Maybe Groff doesn’t sound like Darin, but I really like his voice and the show’s take on the songs and am glad we’re getting them.

Agreed.
Where was Ramos? I thought I saw him in the audience earlier so he was there but didnt participate?
Seems especially unfair to ding DeBose, who is now an Oscar winner in her own right and still showed up to dance in the ensemble with her company."
