Or do some fact checking as he married actress Sandra Dee not Connie Francis.

They never married. The story is a helluva lot more interesting than that anyway

“I rapped lightly on one of the double doors to Bobby’s suite, and when the door flung open, there he stood, totally caught off guard, in the buff, while two hookers were actively writhing on the floor.”

I'd pay to see Groff re-enact that.

There were no photos of the cast or a cast list posted from the last workshop, but Joe Barbara posted a photo with guest Daniel Radcliffe. Elizabeth Teeter, Emily Bergl, Michele Pawk and Lance Roberts were part of the previous workshop.

Seeking capitalization of $12.5 million according to Broadway Journal:

With a maximum capitalization of $14.5 million, Mincemeat  isn’t expensive by current Broadway standards. According to Securities and Exchange Commission filings for this season, Maybe Happy Ending is being capitalized for as much as $18.25 million, Buena Vista Social Club is at $17 million, Tammy Faye is $25 million, Swept Away is $14.5 million, and the not-yet-announced Just in Time, starring Jonathan Groff as Bobby Darin, is raising $12.5 million.

Do we think this is spring of next year, or the following fall?  A couple of industry friends have all heard that producers wants CITS after R&J.

Spring 2025 according to the original Broadway Journal report.

This just feels like it’s being hustled in to fill the boomer jukebox musical hole left by A BEAUTIFUL NOISE

I feel like A Wonderful World takes that. This is a good backup plan for the boomers if it closes quickly.

Circle in the Square after R&J. 

 

I still can't get any excitement for this production.

Not in the press release, but per Timbers' social media, Derek McLane is the scenic designer.

I love Timbers’ direction so I’m excited for that. The show sounds a yawn to me.

And no, since theater fans on the Twitter can’t behave, this did not take the Circle and the Square from Cats. It was never going there nor would it have worked there.

I've got fond memories of the nightclub setting used here for Audra in Lady Day, so I am excited to see what the experience and staging is like for this show.

Will all performances be matinee? Bc that’s basically the demographic for this ..

When is Sinatra supposed to open? Interesting to have Sinatra and Darin both on Broadway in 2025 played by two former Melchoirs and friends. Many people wonder if Darin would have exceeded Sinatra had he lived. Many argued he had the better voice.

SINATRA has no dates or theatre that I'm aware of.

I didn't see it in England, but maybe it's a better show for the road than for Broadway? Sell out for a year on the road and then take it to New York if there's an appetite, or license it? According to reports out of England, it sounds like they really sand down the edges of Frank's life and Kathleen Marshall has had a terrible track record of late.

Groff means a lot more than Matt Doyle, but Sinatra's name means more than Darrin's.

The Darin show has a prestigious team and the nightclub setting is clever, but it can be hard to replace a star once Groff's contract is up. How big is the cast? I can't imagine it's a huge show given the space and the plan to convert it into a nightclub, right?
