Just for anyone who’s like is Jonathan as nice as he seems? The answer is no, he’s so much nicer. He came to my production of Spring Awakening directed by a friend of his and talked to me at a bar for several hours, just incredible generous.

@Riley Rayburn Not to be obnoxious, but "notoriety" means being famous for something bad. Groff hasn't done anything bad & isn't notorious for anything: he's been *famous* for many, many years (in NYC, ever since he played Melchior in "Spring Awakening" on Broadway). He became properly famous in 2009 outside NY when he joined the cast of "Glee." I'm looking forward to seeing "Merrily" again' the off-Broadway production was excellent, though Daniel Radcliff is not really a singer, and when he's performing with people like Mendez and Groff it shows.

I don't watch a lot of movies these days, because I hate comic-based material which is just about all that gets made anymore, and M. Night had started to wear on me, but I may have to see the new film because of this interview. It reminded me of how absolutely lovely it is to watch or listen to Mr. Groff. I adore that man.
He's adorbz. He had just left Hamilton when I was lucky to grab a seat, but saw him at a concert in SF where he was filming the special Looking wrap-up. Then saw him twice in Little Shop; it was that good! Now looking forward to Merrily We Roll Along -- weird how a flop can come back to life and be a success (or hopefully will be).

Dear Seth, Merrily was the first new collaboration between Sondheim and the legendary director Hal Prince since their triumph, Sweeney Todd, in 1979. However. It followed a decade in which they'd been the composer/lyricist and director behind 5 of the most daring musicals ever made, which won a combined 30% of the Best Musical Tonys and 45% of the Tonys for Best Score (in one year, the Score category was separated into Best Music and Best Lyrics, both of which were awarded to Sondheim). This is in addition to Prince's many successes outside of his Sondheim partnership (the Candide revival; On the 20th Century; Evita; and others). Resentment was growing. In addition, some questionable choices were made in the design and casting of the show, along with the fateful decision to skip out-of-town tryouts and conduct previews in New York. As a result, the theatre community was mostly out for blood. The schadenfreude is palpable in the 1981 reviews (apart from Frank Rich, who's clearly anguished by the failure). So no. I wouldn't say there's always been a market for the original Merrily. Instead, the show was revised and revamped a few years later in a La Jolla Playhouse production that resulted in the version that's been licensed ever since. And *that* version has been breaking people's hearts for nearly four decades.
Love Jonathan Groff. The movie based on the book 'The Cabin at the End of the World' was absolutely butchered and made for some particular audience who wants a conclusive ending without using brains.

CORRECTION: at 7:16 Jonathan gets around to correcting Seth by referring to M. Night Shyamalan simply as "Night." Whereas Seth repeatedly calls him "M. Night." When someone initializes their first name, it's a sign that they don't go by it, and certainly, not be called by the initial. Friends and co-workers with John F. Kennedy wouldn't regularly address him by saying, "Hi, John F." In that case, the "F" is not used with the first name, but only formally in the third person. And so, Mr. Shyamalan's co-workers don't call him "Emnight," but just "Night." It's the name he goes by.
