He last performed on Broadway as author J. M.

“Our show is made to fit like a glove around all kinds of virtuoso performers. I'm thrilled to get back in there and tailor the material so it's personal to Matthew Morrison, his journey, his many talents, and to welcome him back home to Broadway where he belongs," said co-book writer Isaac Oliver, who penned Just in Time with Warren Leight.
The musical is set to Darin's hit songs like "Splish Splash," "Dream Lover," and "Mack the Knife" and is performed in a semi-immersive nightclub setting at the Circle in the Square Theatre under the direction of Alex Timbers.
