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!
