Opening night at Broadway's Bobby Darin biomusical Just in Time is April 26 at the Circle in the Square Theatre, but the production celebrated that impending opening with a star-studded party April 23.

Among those in attendance were Jonathan Groff (starring as Darin)'s former Merrily We Roll Along Broadway co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, friend and former Glee and Spring Awakening co-star Lea Michele, former Hamilton co-stars Lin-Manuel Miranda and Phillipa SooKiss of the Spider Woman film star Tonatiuh, Donna Murphy, Edie Falco, Mariska Hargitay, Dan Bucatinsky, Michael Urie, Fran Drescher, Victoria Clark, Michael R. Jackson, Jacob Collier, and more. Take a look in the gallery below. 

Tony winner Alex Timbers is at the helm of the immersive staging, which transforms the Circle in the Square into an intimate nightclub. The show tracks Darin's life story and sees Tony winner Groff performing his greatest hits, including "Beyond the Sea," "Splish Splash," and "Mack the Knife."

The work, developed by Timbers and based on an original concept by Ted Chapin, features a book by Tony winner Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). Shannon Lewis choreographs with music supervision and arrangements by Andrew Resnick.

The production also features scenic design by two-time Tony winner Derek McLane (Death Becomes Her), costume design by eight-time Tony winner Catherine Zuber (Moulin Rouge!), lighting design by Tony winner Justin Townsend (Here Lies Love), and sound design by Tony winner Peter Hylenski (Maybe Happy Ending).

Groff won a Tony Award last year for his performance in the Tony-winning revival of Merrily We Roll Along, and has also appeared on Broadway in Spring Awakening and Hamilton.
