Groff is set to for his final performance of Just in Time on March 29, 2026. In the Broadway show, which began previews March 31, 2025, Groff portrays the legendary singer-actor throughout his life and rise to fame at the Circle in the Square Theatre that's transformed into a 1950s and '60s-style nightclub. However, even though Groff's run will be over in March, the jukebox musical isn't, as Groff's replacement will be announced at a later date. The actor developed the show over eight years, and went to visit the Circle in the Square Theatre the day after he won his first Tony Award in 2024 for Merrily We Roll Along, where he starred with Daniel Radcliffe, who also took home his first Tony for his role in the musical.

He spoke to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year about how this show has helped him connect with the audience. "It felt like the opportunity to tell the story of Bobby Darin's life in front of a live audience, that's where he was, at the height of his powers. That is the place to tell his story," he said. "Even removing the artifice of character at the very beginning and really establishing this connection between performer and audience was the most effective way to celebrate what he did to a room when he was in it. So I wanted to start the show as myself, and we spent years trying to figure out how we would make that work and how we would it." The Mindhunter star also spoke about the extensive training he's had to endure to maintain his stamina, as the show requires a lot of dancing. "Shannon Lewis, our amazing choreographer, she [worked with] me three times a week for 10 weeks before the first day of rehearsal. We were in the studio, and she taught me her physical warm-up, which is a 30-minute warm-up, which I still do every day before the show, to get my body ready," he said. "It's like training for a marathon physically, this role, and I'm learning a lot about my body, and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my whole life." The role earned him his fourth Tony nomination and he was nominated alongside his former Glee co-star Darren Criss, who ultimately won. Just in Time features a book by Warren Leight (Side Man) and Isaac Oliver (Intimacy Idiot). It was developed and directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge), and also stars Sarah Hyland, Sadie Dickerson, Michele Pawk, Joe Barbara, Emily Bergl, Lance Roberts, Caesar Samayoa, Claire Camp, Julia Grondin, Valeria Yamin, John Treacy Egan, Tari Kelly, Matt Magnusson, Khori Michelle Petinaud and Larkin Reilly.
