Video: Matthew Morrison Talks 'Homecoming' to Broadway After Ten-Year Hiatus
Morrison will play a strictly limited 3-week engagement in Just in Time beginning Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at Circle in the Square Theatre.
After a ten-year hiatus, Matthew Morrison is returning to the Great White Way. Having last been seen on Broadway in Finding Neverland, Morrison will take over as Bobby Darrin in the hit musical Just in Time this April. He visited TODAY on Tuesday to chat all about it.
"I never would have thought that ten years ago would be the last time that I was on stage until now," he reflected on the talk show. "It doesn't feel like a comeback; it feels more like a homecoming. I'm coming to it, I think, with a lot more gratitude and a lot less ego."
Morrison praised Jonathan Groff for his work in developing the show and the role, which garnered him a Tony nomination. "I don't feel like I'm stepping into someone else's shoes or replacing someone. It just feels like I'm being invited into a really, really amazing conversation that's already in progress," said Morrison.
