Gracie Lawrence Celebrates ‘Just In Time’ Broadway Opening Night In Vintage Ensemble

Gracie Lawrence took to Instagram to share a collection of heartfelt moments from the opening night of the Broadway musical “Just In Time,” where she currently stars as singer Connie Francis opposite Jonathan Groff’s Bobby Darin.

“Opening night for @justintimebway was so many people I love in the same room,” Lawrence captioned her post, accompanied by a blue heart emoji. The actress and singer shared a carousel of images capturing the celebratory atmosphere of the Broadway premiere.

In the photos, Lawrence is seen wearing a stunning vintage dress.

Several photos showcase her vintage dress from different angles, highlighting both the elegant styling and her evident joy during the milestone evening.

This production marks Lawrence’s return to Broadway after making her debut at just 12 years old in “Brighton Beach Memoirs.” Now at 28, she’s embracing the theatrical lifestyle with enthusiasm. In a recent interview with WWD featured on her Instagram, Lawrence shared insights about her Broadway return.

“Honestly, I kind of just enjoy being in the theater. I don’t usually leave during the day, I’ll just stay here during my dinner break, too,” Lawrence stated. “Something I’m very used to from touring is living in venues. So, I kind of enjoy just being in this space and considering it a second home.”

Her comment about not having to do “Spanish homework during the 5-minute breaks” anymore highlights the difference between her childhood Broadway experience and her current run as an established performer.

Beyond her Broadway role, Gracie Lawrence has built a diverse career across multiple entertainment fields. She gained significant recognition as the lead singer of the band Lawrence and recently broke out in the last season of HBO’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”

Her versatility as both an actress and musician is on full display in “Just In Time,” where she portrays real-life 1950s-60s singing sensation Connie Francis. In a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, which Lawrence also shared on her Instagram, she performed “Who’s Sorry Now” from the musical, showcasing her powerful vocals.

Broadway.com noted that Lawrence is “joining the family business” with this theatrical return. The Lawrence siblings have deep connections to the performing arts world, with Gracie and her brother Clyde leading their soul-pop band Lawrence to considerable success.

In another recent Instagram post captioned “very hard launch,” Gracie shared personal moments that appear to show a relationship with “Just In Time” co-star Jonathan Groff, suggesting their on-stage chemistry may have developed into an off-stage connection as well.

The Hollywood Reporter recently featured Lawrence in their coverage of the musical, which she proudly shared on social media. The production has garnered attention not just for its star power but for bringing the music and stories of 1950s-60s pop icons to contemporary Broadway audiences.

For fans of Lawrence who can’t make it to Broadway, her social media offers glimpses into both the production and behind-the-scenes moments. In one video shared by the @areyouokayshow account, Lawrence is playfully described as being “made for the theater,” a sentiment that seems to be resonating with audiences and critics alike.

The musical “Just In Time” continues its Broadway run, with Lawrence bringing her musical talents and acting skills to the stage nightly, clearly surrounded by colleagues and friends who have made the experience all the more meaningful.

As she noted in her opening night caption, the celebration brought together “so many people I love in the same room.”
