What do most people know about Jonathan Groff? They know he is a Tony Award-winning Broadway star who played the King in Hamilton and was on Glee with his best friend Lea Michele.
They also know that he is a spitter because his mouth gets really wet when he sings. So much so that people want front row seats in Just in Time so they can get covered with his DNA.
Because of the latter fact, Tony’s host Cynthia Enrivo made a joke about that before he performed on Sunday. She said, “The balcony is also the best and safest place to see Jonathan Groff sing.”
Was he offended by her joke? Not at all. He turned around, laughed, pointed at her with approval, and jumped up and down!
That is why he is the future of Broadway, and everyone loves him! He is adorably sweet and has a great sense of humor! He is going to be on the Great White Way for a very long time, like Nathan Lane, Harvey Fierstein, and Joel Grey.
Jonathan Groff was once again nominated for a Tony, this time for Just in Time, which is about singer Bobby Darin.
If you are nominated for a musical, most likely you are going to perform a number from the show, and he did.
During the Broadway production, he interacts with the audience. And he did the same at The Tonys.
Who did he choose to interact with in the audience? The most loved star in the house, after him. Keanu Reeves, of course!
How did the internet’s boyfriend react? He ate it up! And we ate his reaction up!
I don’t know who was the luckier man here. Because I would love to give Keanu a lap dance, and I would love to get a dance from Groff. So I will call it a tie!
The best part is that the Tony winner picked to light John Wick’s wick over George Clooney! Proving Clooney is so last century! While Reeves is both!
The original cast of Hamilton, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jonathan Groff, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, and Leslie Odom, Jr., reunited yesterday at The Tony Awards to celebrate the musical’s tenth anniversary.
They didn’t just stand there and pose for the cameras. Instead, they performed a medley of the show’s songs. So, it felt like you were getting all of Hamilton in four minutes and eighteen seconds.
What a performance! There were definitely some broken legs in the audience after watching that.
The only negative is that it proved that even though this was Broadway’s most lucrative year ($800 for George Clooney to bore you to tears), it wasn’t a very good one. Not like the year that Hamilton changed the game!
Jonathan Groff is as known for his spitting as his phenomenal musical performances. The Tony-nominated actor is starring as Bobby Darin in Just In Time on Broadway, and the audience is getting wet from his singing, as in literally.
We saw him spitting as the Mad King in the filmed version of Hamilton. We heard his Merrily We Roll Along co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, ask him about his wet mouth. And now, thanks to the spotlight, we are getting to see how strong his spit game is in his latest Broadway production as he belts out The Curtain Falls.
I am not criticizing him for it! I just wish I was in New York City so he could go all Gallagher on me!
The only people who probably are not into his spitting are his boyfriends. That is, unless that is their fetish!
Jonathan Groff and Gracie Lawrence were on Late Night yesterday to promote their Tony-nominated musical Just In Time about Bobby Darin and Connie Francis’ love affair, and they turned Seth Meyers on.
How did the actors do that? The two of them sing duets in the show, and their faces get so close to one another that she can feel her co-star’s breath in her mouth.
Also, because the friends are so physically close to each other, they can’t stop laughing. So the NBC late night host wanted them to demonstrate what they were describing. As they were preparing to do it, Meyers admitted he was getting turned on.
Then, they sang Give My Regards to Broadway within spit distance to their faces that you can see why she was able to taste his salt and vinegar chips. When they were done, Groff asked Meyers if he wanted to try it. To which he told the Mad King of Hamilton, “I will say, ‘As turned on as I was before you guys did it, the opposite now.'”
So we are just left to imagine what could have been… And I have not stopped doing that.
Back to the chemistry between the two men, I would so adore it if the Late Night talk show asked Groff to go Day Drinking with Seth! They would have so much fun drinking and singing, it would probably be one of their best ones.
Now, I must talk about Gracie, my niece is obsessed with her band, Lawrence! I didn’t know she is also a Broadway star. So this post is for her! Oh, and she is also a huge fan of Groff and saw him in Merrily We Roll Along!
Maybe since she will not be able to get to New York City again before the show cancels, Late Night can book her and her brother to perform!
