Tony-winner Jonathan Groff looks back—from Spring Awakening to Just in Time, and how he landed Hamilton by accident

For Tony winner Jonathan Groff, now back on Broadway in Just In Time at Circle in the Square Theatre, the answers to both questions are intertwined. Groff has devoted his life to the ephemeral connection between an artist and their audience, pouring himself into his work as a way of unlocking his soul for everyone, including himself, to see.

Spring Awakening launched Groff into the upper echelon of millennial musical theatre stars. It isn’t hard to see why.

“The first preview, when I came down the elevator after singing ‘Mack the Knife’ for the first time, I just lost it. I was just weeping, because this is such a gift. I say in the show, the audience is the only relationship he was any good at. And honestly, same.” Groff laughs. “To feel that connection to the crowd, to feel them there and to feel them enjoying it is such a spiritual experience for me.”

When Jonathan Groff went down on his girlfriend in “ Mindhunters”, I said to myself “ Mary! A gay man CAN play a straight man very, very, very convincingly!”

It was pretty sexy until gf started kvetching.

I only knew this actor's name from DL, but I am now watching Mindhunter. He's quite good and very cute!
