Alex Timbers is at the helm of the previously announced production, which will begin previews on March 28 and open on April 23 at Circle in the Square Theatre.
Henningsen made her Broadway debut as Fantine in the 2014 revival of “Les Misérables” and originated the role of Cady Heron in 2018’s “Mean Girls.” On television, Henningsen is known for her roles on “Hazbin Hotel,” “Girls5Eva” and “Harlem,” as well as the upcoming Netflix series “The Four Seasons.”

Developed by Timbers and based on an original concept by Ted Chapin, “Just in Time” features a book by Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver set to songs made popular by Darin.
“Just in Time” is being produced by Tom Kirdahy, Robert Ahrens and John Frost.
