Jonathan Groffis taking fans “Beyond the Sea” with his next Broadway role, and PEOPLE has an exclusive First Look at the actor in character.

PEOPLE can premiere the official art for the show, which captures Groff posing as the crooner in a blue suit and matching hat.

Darin was one of the music industry’s biggest stars, and was a staple on the charts in the late 1950s and ’60s. He began his career as a member of the iconic Brill Building’s songwriters but struggled to make it as a solo artist — that is, until he catapulted into the spotlight with 1958’s “Splish Splash.” Other hits like “Beyond the Sea,” “Dream Lover” and “Mack the Knife” followed, the latter becoming his signature song.

Throughout his short yet multifaceted career, Darin released 27 albums, starred in 13 movies, had two television variety shows, and won two Grammys and one Golden Globe. He was known for switching up his styles often, exploring all genres of music such as jazz, folk, country and pop. He died in 1973 at the age of 37, while recovering from open heart surgery.
