Isa Briones, a talented actress known for her role in the HBO Max series *The Pitt*, has recently taken to the Broadway stage, making her official debut on April 1, 2024. Embodying the iconic character Connie Francis in the musical *Just in Time*, Briones joins Tony nominee Matthew Morrison, who portrays the legendary Bobby Darin.
Briones, who is celebrated for both her acting and singing abilities, showcased her vocal talents in a newly released music video for *Just in Time*, performing Francis’ well-known hit “Who’s Sorry Now.” The video was unveiled on April 7, just a few days after her first performance at the Circle in the Square Theatre in New York City.
The response to Briones’ musical number has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans expressed their admiration through social media, with numerous comments applauding her powerful voice and impressive performance. One viewer remarked, “This is SO good,” while another exclaimed, “Good LORD can this lady sing! Such a talented person.”
Despite the accolades, some comments took a light-hearted jab at her character’s role in *The Pitt*. One user quipped, “She’ll do anything but her charts,” showcasing the fun interaction between Briones’ fanbase and her on-screen persona. Another added, “Dr. Robby could never,” drawing humorous comparisons between her character and her musical accomplishments.
Briones hails from a family rich in musical talent. Her father, Jon Jon Briones, is notably known for his portrayal of the Engineer in the acclaimed West End revival of *Miss Saigon*, an achievement that earned him an Olivier Award nomination. The two have shared the stage previously in *Hadestown*, where Jon Jon played Hermes, and Isa took on the role of Eurydice, further solidifying their family’s legacy in the performing arts.
In addition, Isa’s resume boasts impressive stage credits, including her performance in the Off-Broadway hit *All Night*, as well as her participation in the national tour of *Hamilton*. Her performance in *Next to Normal* at East West Players even garnered her an L.A. Ovation Award, highlighting her versatility as a performer.
Briones isn’t the only cast member from *The Pitt* making a mark on Broadway. Patrick Ball, who plays Dr. Frank Langdon in the series, also recently made his Broadway debut in the dark comedy *Becky Shaw*. This connection further intertwines the paths of these talented actors.
*Just in Time* has enjoyed considerable commercial success since its opening, having begun performances on March 31, 2025. The musical, helmed by director and Tony Award-winner Alex Timbers, has been scheduled to run until September 6, 2026. Briones shares the stage with Morrison, who is set to conclude his limited three-week engagement on April 19, after which two-time Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan will take over the role of Bobby Darin. Carrie St. Louis will step into the role of Sandra Dee, succeeding Sadie Dickerson.
As the buzz around *Just in Time* continues to grow, tickets are currently available for those eager to witness Briones and her co-stars in this captivating new production. With a promising career ahead of her and the support of her family, Isa Briones is certainly a name to watch in the world of musical theatre.
