      He could make a fortune that way, in addition to all the money he’s made from Frozen, Frozen 2, Little Shop of Horrors, etc.

    when he said "i was in a show called spring awakening" i thought he was being jokingly humble, but then no one in the audience cheered or anything..... LA is weird

      Exactly! Like they clapped on fainting ghosts but not the huge thing that is spring awakening. Maybe LA people only watch movies.

    I'm lucky enough to know Jonathan Groff and his family. He's absolutely the gentle, warm, kind soul you see in this video. I'm so happy for his success, he deserves it.

      Yeah I love that you can actually see how genuine he is behind his smile, he just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside because he's a real person and he's not fake like a lot of big and known people are.. Sort of gives me hope for humanity.

    • @lemmontree6638
      @lemmontree6638 8 років тому +29

      He's one of those people who I would love to have an intellectual conversation with and just talk to. Not necessarily a four hour conversation about Broadway, just talk to about modern America and the industry and things like homophobia. He just seems so great

    I saw him 6 times in spring awakening and he was the nicest guy at stage door. He'd personally take the time out to talk to everyone on that line. I remember seeing him years later and he remembered something I'd gotten him years prior. What a guy!

    I can't believe nobody clapped or whooped when he mentioned ''Spring Awakening!'' That's where I first heard of him, and that show was a pretty big hit, as well as being so beautiful.

      Shannon Lashley True. There's a video about the original cast of Spring Awakening reunion. Jonathan and Lea are evidently so comfortable around each other and share inside jokes. There's no way they are faking it, quite an elaborate scheme would be, don't you think, I can't believe they are so good at acting lol

    @ojj75 9 років тому +54

    Jon Groff is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I saw him in an off-Broadway play in 2011 and he was so incredibly warm and generous to all the fans at the stage door. This was after Spring Awakening and Glee, and he stayed outside chatting with everyone for at least 20 minutes. And he's 10 times more gorgeous in person compared to what you see in photos or on TV. I couldn't breathe for a few seconds when I saw him up close!
    Always happy for you, Jon! Hope to see you again one day. :)

    I met him at the stage door after seeing Hamilton and I handed him a printed out picture of my sister who couldn't come to the show and he took pictures with the picture. Aside from Lin Manuel Miranda, he is hands down the kindest and most humble guy I have ever met at a stage door.
