Stage Door
When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
No public door. Performers leave through the lobby, the same way you did. There is nowhere separate to wait.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
The production tracks Bobby Darin’s sprint from street corner crooner to a man fighting his own mortality. Jeremy Jordan plays the lead with a frantic, desperate energy that makes the staging feel less like a jukebox musical and more like a high-stakes confession. It manages to avoid the saccharine traps of a typical biopic, focusing instead on a man who knew his time was short and decided to burn through it at full speed. Go if you enjoy high-caliber vocal performances and don’t mind the cramped seating of the venue. Skip it if you are looking for a lighthearted, plot-heavy narrative.

Our verdict
Jonathan Groff turns Circle in the Square into a swinging supper club and delivers one of the great star turns as Bobby Darin — six Tony nominations' worth of charisma. The jukebox-bio format is familiar, and critics said so, but Groff's wattage and the onstage big band push it well past the genre's usual ceiling. Go for the showman.
