Bobby Darin was an American legend whose songs moved in and out of genres, from jazz and swing to rock and roll and pop. In 1958, Darin co-wrote and recorded his first million-selling single, "Splish Splash", which was followed by the singer’s own tune, "Dream Lover.” Covers of "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea" followed, which brought him worldwide fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film, Come September, co-starring his first wife, actress Sandra Dee.

That marriage is depicted in the musical, along with other thrilling chapters in Darin’s singular life that was all too short. Audiences can expect a riveting performance from Jonathan Groff, always a commanding stage presence, and a deep dive into the one-of-a-kind life of Darin, which featured shocking family surprises, timeless songs, and plenty of star wattage that kept the party going long after the nightclub closed down. 

# What to watch for
- This musical transforms its theater to create a more immersive event and heightened experience. Here, the Circle in the Square becomes a dazzling nightclub.
- Shannon Lewis, who has danced with the Rockettes and in the dance show *Fosse*, choreographs this production.
- Audiences can expect to hear some of Bobby Darin’s hit songs, including “Beyond the Sea,” “Mack the Knife,” “Splish Splash,” and “Dream Lover.”
- The life of Sandra Dee, Darin’s first wife and the actress in *Gidget* and *A Summer Place*, factors heavily into this musical as well.

Circle In The Square Theater

Designed by Alan Sayles, the Circle in the Square Theatre (along with its much larger sibling, the [Gershwin Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/gershwin-theatre)) is inside the confines of the Paramount Plaza office tower. The Circle in the Square Theatre was built in 1970 as the Uris Brothers tore down the former Capitol Theatre in order to construct the tower.

The current Broadway theatre is the successor of a same-named Off-Broadway theatre, which operated from 1950 to 1995 at multiple locations in Greenwich Village. The Circle in the Square repertory company staged its first Broadway production — a revival of *Mourning Becomes Electra* — at its current venue on November 15, 1972.

The venue is one of the smallest and most intimate spaces on Broadway. Productions are generally staged in the round, as audiences are seated on three sides of the stage. The theatre is also associated with the Circle in the Square Theatre School, the only accredited drama school attached to a Broadway house.

## How to get to the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway

The Circle in the Square Theatre is accessible by subway, with the closest stop being 50th St. on the C or E line. The 50th St. stop on the 1 line is also nearby. The closest bus stop to the theatre is 8th Ave/W 50th St. on the M50 line.
