**New York, NY** – Isa Briones is set to make her return to Broadway as she steps into the role of Connie Francis in the hit musical *Just in Time*, beginning April 1 at the Circle in the Square Theatre in Manhattan. Briones, who gained recognition for her role as Eurydice in *Hadestown*, will be taking over from Sarah Hyland, whose final performance is scheduled for March 29.
At just 27 years old, Briones has already established herself as a prominent figure in both theatre and television. Currently, she stars as Dr. Trinity Santos in the HBO Max series *The Pitt*, a role that has garnered her and her castmates the prestigious Actor Award for Ensemble in a Drama Series. The actress will be joined by fellow *The Pitt* cast member Patrick Ball, who is making his Broadway debut in the dark comedy *Becky Shaw*.
Briones’s journey in theatre began when she made her Broadway debut in 2024, performing alongside her father, stage veteran Jon Jon Briones, in *Hadestown*. She has an impressive array of credits, including the acclaimed Off-Broadway production *All Night* and the national tour of *Hamilton*. Her performance in *Next to Normal* by East West Players earned her an L.A. Ovation Award, highlighting her talent early in her career.
*Just in Time* features music from the legendary singer Bobby Darin, celebrating his remarkable life story as he transitioned from a teen idol to an international sensation. The production immerses audiences in an intimate nightclub setting with a live band delivering classics such as “Beyond the Sea” and “Mack the Knife.”
The musical has seen considerable success since its premiere on March 31, 2025, and is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers. The book is crafted by Tony winners Warren Leight and Isaac Oliver, contributing to a production that has become a box office success. The show is currently scheduled to run until September 6, 2026.
Briones’s casting is just one of many transitions within the *Just in Time* company. Following Hyland’s exit, Matthew Morrison, a Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominee, will take on the role of Bobby Darin for a limited engagement beginning the same day as Briones’s entrance. Subsequently, Jeremy Jordan, a two-time Tony nominee and Grammy nominee, will take over the role starting April 21.
The production will also see changes in other key roles. Tony winner Michele Pawk will conclude her portrayal of Polly on March 29, with Debbie Gravitte stepping into the role on April 1. Additionally, Sadie Dickerson will make her final appearance as Sandra Dee on April 19, paving the way for Carrie St. Louis, who will assume the character from April 21 onward.
*Just in Time* is receiving acclaim for its engaging narrative and vibrant musical score, resonating with audiences and reflecting the spirit of Bobby Darin’s legacy. With Briones joining the cast, expectations are high for her interpretation of Connie Francis, a role that promises to showcase her diverse talents.
Tickets for the musical are presently available for purchase. With its combination of heartfelt storytelling and a celebration of timeless hits, *Just in Time* remains one of Broadway’s must-see productions this season. As Briones prepares for her exciting new role, fans and critics alike will be watching her journey closely.
