Jonathan Groff was the main draw for ‘Just in Time,’ a jukebox musical recycling mostly forgotten ’50s standards. But celebrity these days is not enough to ensure an enduring theater hit — a gimmick was built into the production to ensure word of mouth.

During each show, Groff tends to pluck a member of the audience for a cameo during the curtain call. “Will you dance with me?” he asks. Then he twirls her and passes the sequin-encrusted microphone so she can sing a line from “Dream Lover.”

Within months of the show’s opening, Redditors and Facebook members were strategizing about how to land the dance for themselves. Fans realized that they had a better chance of being chosen if they dressed the part. Women bought retro dresses and had their hair blown out Jackie Kennedy style. They paid for professional makeup sessions.

Groffies — hard-core Jonathan Groff fans going to great lengths to see their guy do his thing — are not onetime ticket buyers. Some go eight, 16, even 20 times. They are not legion, but they make up something of a critical mass, at least by Broadway standards. They skew female and middle-aged. They know Groff is openly gay, and they do not mind. “It doesn’t matter that he likes boys,” one 39-year-old married woman posted on Reddit. “56 and same,” another responded. “Could not care less if he’s gay and I am convinced we’d be BFFs.”

Peggy Russell, a 68-year-old professor in the Bay Area, has seen ‘Just in Time,’ nine times and is planning on coming back for Groff’s last outing on March 29. Catherine Gunn, a 59-year-old retired tech worker based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, commissioned a headband that read “Please Dance with Me,” then paid $1,500 for one of Groff’s bowties in an auction after her first time seeing the production.

Chaofeng Ge, a 32-year-old immigrant from China, died in ICE detention in Pennsylvania last August. He was found hanging, with his hands and feet bound behind his back.

Officially ruled a suicide, some activists and lawmakers have raised suspicions. His family wants answers.

[lomikriel @lomikriel]

"We have been here for nine months,” wrote the 9-year-old. “Please get us out.”

"I miss my bear," the 5-year-old said.

In letters & drawings, the longest-held family at the Dilley ICE detention center describe it as "slowly killing us on the inside."

i actually hate all of you who are posting jokes about the epstein files. rape is so devastating and soul destroying and im sorry but the urge to so belittle it comes from the same swamp as the crime

san francisco was just called san fran until 1991 when cisco systems paid the city 47 billion dollars to append cisco to its name. the inhabitants are very touchy about people using the original name now, for legal reasons. it's a violation of contract law
