The official production has touted the reality TV personality as a “powerhouse talent.” Her Just in Time engagement is scheduled to run through November 22, 2026.
ICYMI, Ariana previously described landing the role as a “pinch-me moment.”
According to the show’s official description, Just in Time transports audiences into an intimate, swinging nightclub featuring a live band, a stellar ensemble cast and iconic Bobby Darin hits including Beyond the Sea, Mack the Knife, Splish Splash and Dream Lover.
The musical explores the man behind the music, following Darin as he pushes back against record labels and charts his own course to become one of music’s most unforgettable stars.
