The show seems to be doing just fine and has long since recouped. People aren’t necessarily going for the main “star” casting anymore since they seem to have expanded their stunt casting net to the ladies of the show.

I’ll be honest - this show bored the living bejeezus out of me the first time I saw it, but Nick is such a freakishly versatile generational talent that I’m pretty sure he’s going to absolutely devour this and I will drag myself back to see that he does.

That would be cool. He’s also told me that he has a real soft spot for LITTLE SHOP and is game to go back again if they ever ask him.

Nothing against Nicholas Cristopher.. he is immensly talented but I don't think he is right for the role. And I agree with the poster who said he will sell 5 tickets.

So many perfect Bobby Darrins out there and this is what they come up with?

I love Just In Time . I've sent many friends and relativesto Just in Time.. That recommendation stops.

Was enthralledboth times with both Jonothan Groff and Jeremy Jordon. I thougnt I would buy a tickets for each and every Bobby Darren because I am/ was so on love with this show....but this puts a WHAT in my mind. I'm not buying a ticket for this.

Not the best producing or casting move for a show that is so entertaining.

And yes. Rosie O Donnel would be a better choice.

I think the producers are shooting Just in Time in the foot with this choice.

We shall see. Time will tell

In no way would Rosie be better than an extremely charismatic man with a gorgeous voice. Groff is nothing like Bobby D and that turned out to be inspired casting. This show has a framing device that allows anyone to play Bobby. I honestly wouldn't mind a female in the part but not Rosie.

He is stupendously talented, but yeah, this will

not sell tickets. Early 2027 closing for sure.

Perfect casting, Nicholas is a such a star 🌟

He also has a roster including Seymour, Jelly Roll Morton, Aaron Burr, George Washington, Sweeney Todd, Adolfo Pirelli, and a menagerie of Motown singers.

Maybe let’s not write off the performer with this freakish level of versatility - more than can be said for some of the other Bobby Darins."

A Russian chess player is not the same as a famous white musical star whose life story is being told. Would you cast somebody white to play Michael Jackson in MJ? Color blind casting works in many roles but playing somebody famous in their life story may not be the best idea. no matter how talented they are. I agree with other posters, this show will close by January.

I still think the producers are shooting the show in the foot with this casting.

Time will tell.

The good news? Audra McDonald will take over the role when Nicholas Christopher leaves because Audra Can do anything.
