Nicholas Christopher Will Play Bobby Darin in JUST IN TIME on Broadway

Tony nominee Nicholas Christopher will make his return to Broadway as Bobby Darin in Just in Time, beginning Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at Circle in the Square Theatre.

“Nicholas Christopher's performance as Anatoly Sergievsky in Chess last season showed the world that he has a remarkable voice and an extraordinary ability to command the stage,” said producers Tom Kirdahy and Robert Ahrens. “That breakout, Tony-nominated performance made it clear that, like Bobby Darin, Nick is a true entertainer and a once-in-a-generation talent.”
