She was our first real love, and oh what a shame it is to see her go. Tony nominee Gracie Lawrence plays her final performance in Just in Time on Broadway October 5 at Circle in the Square.
Lawrence, who was nominated for her Broadway debut performance as the late Connie Francis, will be succeeded by Sarah Hyland (The Great Gatsby, Little Shop of Horrors, Modern Family) beginning October 8.
Just in Time tracks the life story of 1950s crooner Bobby Darin, with Tony winner Jonathan Groff performing Darin's greatest hits, including "Beyond the Sea," "Splish Splash," and "Mack the Knife."
