Jonathan Groff Eyes Broadway Return In Musical About ‘Mack The Knife’ Singer Bobby Darin


Jonathan Groff is set to star in a staged reading next month of a new musical about singer Bobby Darin.

Tony-winner Jonathan Groff is set to star in a staged reading next month of a new musical about Bobby Darin, the 1950s-’60s-era singer who scored hits with “Mack the Knife,” “Dream Lover” and “Beyond The Sea,” Deadline has confirmed. Alex Timbers ( Moulin Rouge!, Beetlejuice) will direct the reading, as he did in 2018 when he teamed with Groff on an early concert version of the musical at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. Just last month, Groff won a Tony Award for his lead performance, opposite Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, in the smash hit revival of Merrily We Roll Along.
