Just in Time - Matt Morrison? — Page 5

Interesting on above if true.

In a recent podcast on which he was a guest(Thrivalist) he seemed pretty much against the time commitment of a Broadway show due to wanting to spend more time with his kids and family.

I think he's a great option as an alternate for Just In Time.

I'm a fan of Morrison, although I do support some of the criticisms against his over earnestness in some of his performances.I just feel bad for him a bit because he got so dragged by online criticism due to Glee( not really his fault, but the atrocious and sloppy writing)and he's either been associated with horrible people like Singer or Weinstein or made some terrible choices in material and had some bad luck too.

He seems like a pretty nice guy who is also pretty talented and I think I'd like to see him have some success again.

what makes you say that?

But Groff's announced departure is the 29th. Why would it close a week before that, unless he had a conflict arise?"

sorry, it is the 29th. Telecharge has the 29th blacked out.

Do we think it'll try and tour ?

Close it so we can get Sarah and Pedro in The Goat

A tour was announced for 2027:

Also, a cursory look at the seating maps for this week show that Groff is the largest selling point of this show. If the material were actually stronger, it could still easily sell out with an understudy lead. Folding at the end of March is the smart move - but I will also selfishly be peeved because that means that CATS could’ve moved in there had JIT not kept extending over and over again."

Many people close to CATS said that they never wanted the Circle because it was too small. 

I’m pretty sure Jeffrey Schecter is there this week as a vacation swing covering Matt’s standby track.

audience was pretty full tonight, though at more reasonable prices (which is why we finally decided to go). 

Matt Magnuson has a wonderful voice and does a nice Groff impression, but I suspect theres an "it" factor missing without the star from the star vehicle. its a really silly, predictable and uninspired show, and im honestly shocked that the producers took such a gamble on Groff's name to sell this. Clearly paid off so what do i know?

Bobby Darren--as portrayed here--was a horrible husband, father, and uninteresting, at best, person. Tragic that he died young but there really isnt any there there. The jukebox is doing a ton of work here. Which the audiences loves...

So kudos to the strong cast. Sarah Hyland shocked me- really incredible singing/emoting. I thought she was a TV star with some theater capability but shes a legit musical theater talent. Emily Bergl also doing very solid work in a series of roles. 

I can see Jeremy Jordan keeping this going for a few months, and I wonder if the producers wanted to see how this week sold without Groff before committing to another big contract?

''Bobby Darren--as portrayed here--was a horrible husband, father, and uninteresting, at best, person.''

If you can't even correctly spell the legendary, Grammy-winning subject of ''Just in Time'' - Bobby Darin - it's hard to take anything you have to say about his characterization or the show seriously, not to mention the name of its current performer, which is actually Magnusson, with two S's.

I absolutely agree that you should not take me nearly as seriously as you seem to be taking my autocorrected misprint of Bobby Darin's name.

(and you have your own typo in your post, but dont worry, im not taking it/you seriously at all anyway, so we all good).

Pedro? Pascal?

The only gamble is what to do after Groff leaves the show and if they get Jeremy Jordan they will be just fine.

I can confirm it is indeed Matt Morrison coming in. They need to hurry up and announce so they can put more dates on sale.

Still wish we were getting Santino, FWIW...
