Jonathan Groff is a Tony-winning star of screen and stage, first coming onto the scene for playing Melchior in the Original Broadway Cast of Duncan Sheik's Spring Awakening. Since then, he's starred in both TV and film, while also regularly going back to his roots in the theater. There's plenty of Groff projects to stream, with the newest being a pro shot of Merrily We Roll Along, the show that earned him a Tony. While renting it, I got emotional about how much his projects have meant to me over the years.
I'm a theater kid who was obsessed with Spring Awakening when it debuted on Broadway back in 2006. The offbeat musical has a cult following, and it's been thrilling to see Jonathan Groff's career skyrocket over the last two decades. So as Merrily We Roll Along tells a story of friends across 20 years, I couldn't help but think about how long I've been watching Groff, and his projects that have made me feel seen.
