- Jonathan Groff reenacting the time he forgot the words to "Left Behind" at a performance of Spring Awakening. (October 13th @ the 9:30pm show at The Cabaret at the Columbia Club)

When he took that break before he said "ALLLL THIIIINGS!" He had this look of "I've never been more embarrassed and I now feel dead inside."
And that’s how you do sense memory.
Live theater fuck ups are the BEST... when they don't happen to you. I'll never forget the sheer terror of dropping an entire verse of a song on opening night. I just stood there with my mouth open and everyone else danced around me looking at me like "o fuck"
I did a show at a tiny theatre with a similarly tiny cast (me and three guys) and we had a pre-recorded soundtrack. During the opening number I missed a word by about two beats and fucked up the next verse and chorus for all of us. Absolutely mortifying!
I was doing a play and in the VERY first scene ever, we were supposed to come out holding fans and then flip them open (first ever live performance), and it was a VERY serious scene, like dark intense scene, and as I went to flip my fan open, it flew right out of my hand. And I couldn't like, calmly bend down and pick it up as I was on a stairway and it fell off the stairway
omg was this House of Bernada Alba????
If so, I was Bernada and in the end scene when Adela is supposed to break the cane, the cane wouldn't break (it had a specially designed screw thing) so she was standing there trying to unscrew it and the audience started laughing and all of a sudden she literally snaps it in half and it breaks into shards and everyone starts laughing harder and clapping her haha
Tell me about it! Once during the opening night of a play I was casted as one of the leads in, I totally forgot a line that was substantial to the entire plot of the play. I stared at the other lead for a second, made up something on the fly, and we had to go along with it to get back to the actual plot of the play.
"All of the cast, except John Gallagher, who's dead..." oh my god, Jon, you perfect man, you.
IWillBeHers wait is jon gallagher actually dead?
No, the character he plays dies and this song is at his funeral
There's a moment you know...... Your fu*ked
+laci organ I LOVE YOU FOR THIS COMMENT...
+laci organ And that moment…. is when you realize that you misspelled "You're".
A+++++ use of that line!!!
Not a inch more room to self destruct

"litterally" sounded like king george hahaha
Ichimatsu Nii-san umm he is king George. Just in case you're not joking
Dakota Seaton
Pretty sure he meant that since he has to do a certain accent to sound like King George, when he sprung up and said "literally!" it might have sounded a bit like that accent.
@@peepeepoopoo2100 Hamilton wasn't a thing back in 2012 yet
okay fuck all of you
Thats what I was thinking!
all things, all thiiiinnngggssssss~ aaaaaall thiiinnnnnnnggggggssssssssssssssss,
@@Wynnnter same
How English does he sound on "Literally that's what happened"!
:'D his English is so good though!
i was so convinced he was gonna say litora... mutlum... ille...
I felt the Dan Howel come up the screen
Well he is King George.
dσcтσя єиzумє αρσcαlуρѕє Dan Howell is not the only English person in the world, you know -_-
Jesus Christ this will be fun
Jillian O'Donnell DA DA DA DA DAA
Empires fall next to Lin they all look small!!!!!!!
Indeed.
King George The Third GEORGIE?!
Jillian O'Donnell da da day a da da da da da day ada
I want a 1-hour loop of 'all things' now xD
Nia Davies That'd be great.
Siremone YOU ACTUALLY DID IT
@@hahaohno329 who did it?

Tawa I KNOW!!
Oen KING GEORGE I SEE YOU
1:30
I love it😂😂
All things
All things
All things
All things
...
All things
Roma TM Karaoke version XD
Paigeycita exactly😂it was on purpose😱
1:18
Groff: *Slowly loses dignity* "AWLLLLLL THANGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSS"
Eliza Schuyler he looked like he was going to cry of embarrassment😂😭❤️
I swear he died inside
am I the only one that loves how he says "literally that's what happened"
No
He sounds British for a second 🤣
The pain in his eyes while singing is truly comical
the real question is... does anyone have the recording of it
Groff: forgets lyrics
Lin: *BURSTS THROUGH DOOR* oh my boy it’s ok come play king George you only have a total of nine minutes on stage
If you include the Reynolds pamphlet 10 ish minutes
It’s a fantastic 9 minutes tho
He was also in the ensemble, at least I think he was
@Gay Squid I think so cause at the end of the show he is wearin an ensemble outfit at least when they did the chorus line thing he was
haha!!
I watch this whenever I am having a bad day and need something to laugh about. It never fails to bring me joy and make me smile.
+Pace Marshall oh my goodness, same
They say, if you listen closely, you can still hear a faint, unending repetition of “all things...”
I hear him
You know what? All the things were left behind. ALL OF THEM.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll things
Aaaaaaaaaaaall thiiiiiiinnngs
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings
Theatre mess ups are hilarious when it's not you lol. Recently I was in Willy Wonka jr and I was backstage during the beginning of the fizzy lifting drink scene, and veruca salt says she wants bubble that taste like candy. Wonka was supposed to say the bubbles taste like soap for children with dirty mouths, but he accidentally said the bubbles taste like children and he took forever to fix it and I was literally crying with laughter backstage trying to compose myself before I entered😂😂😂
EmmyLovesSinging Maybe that's why so many children nearly died in his class.
i fell down laughing at this
HAHAHAHA!!! In case no one sees my actual comment I was in the Sound of Music as Marta in sixth grade, and there were 4 casts of the show run by the one company. And there’s a line where Kurt is supposed to say “I’m Kurt I’m eleven and I’m incorrigible.” Then Maria says “Congratulations.” Then he’s supposed to ask “What’s incorrigible?” And Maria goes “I think it means you want to be treated like a boy.” So Kurt from the second cast(I was 3rd), said during one of the shows on accident. “I’m Kurt I’m eleven and I’m a boy.” Maria paused then said “Congratulations.” I saw this show and his face immediately had so much regret, as there was a pause and he slowly said “What’s a boy?” And Maria had to answer and said it means what you think it means.😂😂😂😂
Why didn't he sing more in frozen?.....his voice is amazing!!!!
That's the question I ask myself watching Frozen)
the character had no oppurtunities
After I watched frozen I had to rewatch all his glee episodes because he's just that amazing
megan buchanan "why didn't I get a real song?"
wait what who did he voice in frozen
"This was the greatest fuck up I've ever made in my life." Best first line said in a video ever. lol
this literally never gets old.
Priceless. Now that I've seen the scene he's talking about, it makes this even funnier. Love him!
You've seen the scene? Can you send me the link?
Naidelyn Hernandez I think I just looked up Spring Awakening "All things" on youtube, and watched what the song was supposed to be like. It wasn't where he actually messed up :) I find him literally adorable.
the song is called left behind and there is plenty of videos of them doing it, so you can watch what was supposed to happen
oh my god this never gets old
R5_SPN_Family 3 years later it’s still true
@@AlexTheCrayChick 2 years later its still true
i want a 100 hour loop of all things
"All cast members, except John Gallagher who's dead at this point..."
Aahaha
"That's the thing about Jonathan Groff; he curses like a sailor!" --Lin Manuel-Miranda playing himself on Smash
TRUE DAT. but I love it.
JG was saying in an interview prior to Spring Awakening he never swore and would turn red when he had to in rehearsal.
What a difference time can make 😂
Lmaoo I think Lin joking here bc Jonathan friends and co-stars say he doesn't swear that much ! Although imo it's hot tbh when he does lol
"except for John Ghallsgher, wno's dead."
Not knowing the show, this literally didn't even sound like a mess up. I would've believed that was how the song went. But the audience was so funny it made me realize "oh that's NOT how it goes omg"
At least he didn't stop singing or freeze up 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Every once in a year I come back to this video to get a good laugh and this story never fails
This is so funny! I can just see the cast the way he describes them lol I'd be laughing too. I love them all so much!! Especially Lea, Jon, and Remy!!!
I was biting my lip the entire time the fuck up happened. It felt like an eternity!
I was upset before I watched this video and now am all smiles!
This just shows how human he is and he is showing us it’s ok to mess up in theater
You can just see him dying. You can see it in his eyes.
I'm so sad this isn't on camera
Laurel Prince me too!
"Literally" just brought back 2011 Dan Howell but with a twist
Long pause , straight face
ALL THINNNNNGSSSSS
JESUS THIS gets me everytime . I burst into tears of laughter!
Jonathan is comepletely amazing and adorable and lovely and perfect! Everytime I say I can't love him more than I already do something like THIS happens! OMG I love him so much Jon is the best person in the whole world and I'll never stop loving him more and more!
You could say ... He was totally f*cked :P
hearing christoff curse is something i never wanna heat again... it hurts
Don’t watch or listen to any of his musicals then. Kristoff is the only time he doesn’t swear i think.
Avoid Spring Awakening at all costs then 😂
" _Literally_ that's what happened"
Um excuse me Groffsauce but your King George is showing
I watch this about twice a day
I was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz recently and thank god this was during rehearsal and not the show, but this scene was when we're talking to the wizard and I was supposed to say "Because you are great and powerful, and we are small and weak, except for maybe the lion." But during rehearsals the night before opening night I say "except for maybe the scarecrow" and so the scarecrow just vigorously shakes his head to say no and the orchestra and everyone is laughing and I can't figure out why. Finally after a few seconds I realize what I said and try to cover it up with "and maybe also the lion!" It was awful but so funny
The trauma in his eyes
May be me and my bad eyesight, but as I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes from this, I realized that Jonathan somewhat resembles Austin McKenzie (Melchior in the ASL revival)!
I noticed that too!!!
1:30
Oh hey King George, didn't expect to see you here.
Shit! That was actually pretty funny! I can understand how mortified he must've felt. Funny now, but then, I'm sure it was pretty horrible for him to go through this!
He has such a beautiful voice when he sings ❤️
Oh my god I've been so sad for the past day, crying alot, and this made me laugh like crazy for the first time in what seems like ages. I will never hear "left behind" the same way again, it's like when John and Jon talked about how they tried to sing while cracking each other up during "Touch me." I love them so much!
I can't stop shaking with laughter and tears from watching this. I would pay 10 Broadway tickets to see that live once. Jon, I love you!!!!
I have been playing this over and over and I just can't help but laugh and find it funnier everything I watch it!!! >°
I love this story so much and every so often I just come back to hear it again and again.
I love this video...go back to it once in a while. makes me smile. thank you
My cast mates mentioned this at a show today. And now I'm here. And I'm dying.
god i love him
I know the sheer panic that runs through you when u fuck up on stage but its funny when its not you
I watched Phantom of the Opera and after he walked down the stairs they would slide into the wall and disappear. The phantom took too long on one stair and it started to close while he was on the stair and he jumped down 6 feet because he wouldn’t make it
The parkour of the opera
@@gremlyn1658 omg nice
that would be a stage manager fuck up. they shouldn't have called that automation cue until the actor was safely clear of the stair, it's their responsibility to pay attention and not call cues on autopilot. i wouldn't want to be the SM writing that performance report afterward... that is a major safety concern. even if it was the crew that responded too early, the SM is the head of the team and has to take responsibility for that happening on their watch.
"except for John Gallagher, who's dead" TOO SOON.
THE CUTEST BABYBOY
I’ve never witnessed more perfection in one human being before i it’s beautiful he’s beautiful I’m dying
another day of LOVING THIS MAN !
I'm watching this and I'm not familiar with the music AT ALL! I love his voice! I know him (or became familiar with him) through Hamilton. Now he is in an old favorite of mine "A New Brain"! I'm going to listen to the real song of this now and appreciate what it "should" be. LOVE HIM!
+szrgirl The Spring Awakening CD is how I discovered Jonathan Groff. Then, through various TV appearances on Glee. Then, he voiced Kristoff in Frozen. Finally, Hamilton. His voice and acting range are absolutely wonderful.
Agreed! I became comfortable with brain surgery through the original "a new brain" 1998 recording. Now the man who "speaks for my brain" in HamiltonMusical is in the musical that made me less afraid of surgery! I got it! It's EXCELLENT! YayGroff!
When someone asks you exactly what you hate about life
COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING
My favorite part was when he said all things.
This reminded me of a great fuck up. I was in Beauty and the Beast as a Silly Girl. We were doing the Mob Song/Battle scenes and our Gaston is singing and the line goes, "...through the darkness and the shadows it's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride." He ends up singing. "It's a darkmare but it's one exciting ride." And we are supposed to be angry and a mob, but we are all containing our laughter. We never let him live it down.
THEN!!! Later on that same show date I was accidentally hit in the face and pushed down during the same scene. Silly girls were violent. The push happened while I was delivering my bigger line of the few I had. The slap happened during our fight and she didn't mean to actually hit me, but it happens! 😂😂😂
Earlier, not later. 😂😂😂
Carlie Mae I was in that show and I loved it! But oh my gosh "it's a darkmare" that's amazing. XD
Carlie Mae i was just in my school's production of les mis and on the last day of the show, during the cart crash scene, instead of the cart hitting the guy it was supposed to hit, it swerved somehow and crashed into me. it took all i had to not burst into tears from pain/not laugh from the hilarity of the incident 😂😂
You posted this ages ago, but I was a silly girl in Beauty and the Beast, too!
When I was in a production of Beauty and The Beast 5 years ago we had a really elaborate castle set that was borrowed from a company in the city and so we had to be very careful with it. On the closing night the mirror accidentally fell of the balcony during Gaston and the Beast's fight and completely shattered on the floor below. Everyone who was in the audience thought that it was on purpose! It was so dramatic and symbolic - it was honestly so perfect for that scene! It made it a million times better and more epic! Although I was the one who had to tell the backstage crew that it was broken... ahhhhhhh good times, I miss being in productions...But I can't sing, act or dance for shit, so I can't be in anything but the chorus #TheStruggle
I watch this video every couple of years whenever I need a laugh
every year or so while listening to the spring a soundtrack, I remember this story and find my way back here
He's adorable .. Muah
This is still one of my favorite performances ever
This clip is in my arsenal of "I really need to smile today" videos. Thank you💖
every second of this video is imprinted on my mind forever
this is the best video on the internet
Could he be any more adorable? I just want to be his BFF!!
I’m not a Spring Awakening fan so I heard “orphans” instead of “all things” and it immediately made it more funny.
oh my gosh he's too precious
Any time I feel like I've screwed up beyond repair, I'll come back to "AAaaaaLLLL THiiIINNGssS".
This might be my favourite groffsauce video of all time
Now that I've seen all of "Looking" I'm obsessed with the guy. Just when I thought I couldn't like him any more than I do - I see this. Help!!!
JON IS MY FUCKING BABY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
I was in a play one time and i had a twin
I forgot to go on stage and say my line (my twin had a line after me) to another character, luckily she remembered my line and said it lmao
it's the look of death in his eyes that make it so funny
All things
All things
Allllllll things
All things
Ohhhhh I've been there... I played Diana in Next To Normal and, opening night, I forget the first lyrics ever sung to the audience in this 40 song rock opera because I saw the audience and froze up and HUMMED IT.
You guys, I hummed a solo part of Just Another Day.
The rest of the show went great but OUCH it still hurts.
this man is a national treasure
*(pause) all thinggggs*
He’s a ball of sunshine 😍😍
This is the best. I fucking love theatre
I've watched this so many times and it never gets old :'D
Jonathan is the most precious human on this planet and we must protect him 😂
damn he looks real good in this video
when he turned around and pretended to be the cast members laughing i lost it
He's such a gift
I can never listen to this song the same way again!!!
this versus that time taylor trensch forgot ALL the words to "and then there were none" and just spouted gibberish the whole time
I need more details on this lmao
I did spots for this show and I was in tearing laughing at this
It just gets better the more he says it
