Attention, passengers: you may now enjoy the musical stylings of Bobby Darin Jeremy Jordan! The Broadway favorite, currently starring as crooner Bobby Darin in Just in Time at Broadway’s Circle in the Square, hit Terminal C at Newark Airport for a recent pop-up performance, a collaboration between United Airlines, Just in Time on Broadway, and Broadway Cares.
The special performance, also featuring pianist Cullen Curth, was a fundraiser for Broadway Cares. After getting fliers’ attention with Jordan’s renditions of Darin standards “Beyond the Sea” and “Dream Lover,” the iconic Red Buckets came out to collect donations.
Watch the performance below.
The biomusical currently stars Jordan (The Great Gatsby) as Darin and Olivia Holt (Kickin’ It) as Connie Francis, and also features Carrie St. Louis (Wicked), Tony Award winner Debbie Gravitte (Jerome Robbins’ Broadway), Joe Barbara (A Bronx Tale The Musical), Drama Desk Award nominee Emily Bergl (Good Night, Oscar), Lance Roberts (The Music Man), Caesar Samayoa (Come From Away), Christine Cornish (Kiss Me, Kate), Julia Grondin (Funny Girl), Valeria Yamin (Moulin Rouge!), Jaime Foord (Broadway debut), Tari Kelly (Mr. Saturday Night), Matt Magnusson (A Wonderful World), Jeffrey Schecter (A Chorus Line), and Tristen Buettel (Boop!
