It breaks my heart to think Jonathan was suffering at this time from being in the closet, even to his castmates (he's said he felt like he was suffocating). Especially since it's so clear that they loved him and would have accepted him. A lesson to people not out yet: friends who love you will support you!
In his mind he was in the closet, cause its sooooo obvious hes gay. No straight man names a key and then not only that but names it Kate. My best friend swore he was in the closet with his family but in reality they had known for over a decade
@@johannarollery9694 🙄 straight people name inanimate objects all the time. You definitely can’t determine someone’s sexual orientation based on that. Plus, he said Christine helped him pick the name
Maybe she won tickets? Maybe she's a great student and it's some sort of reward? Maybe she does odd side jobs like babysitting or dog walking JUST to make enough to go to the show? Maybe she sneaks in? Lol. ...maybe she has a dream for acting that her parents are well aware of and they support her by working a few extra hours a week so they can send her daughter and a friend to the show. Whatever the reason, at least she's staying out of trouble. I'd gladly give my daughter the opportunity to go to the theater over doing the stupid shit kids do these days.
*Gideon:* that's a big mic *Jonathan:* it is a big mic, bigger than the ones in the show actually *Gideon, shaking his head in defeat:* it wouldn't fit in our pockets
I LOVE JONATHAN!!! I love how I can hear Kristoff from Frozen when I don't watch the video but only listening to the audio! I love how he was in Frozen.
I’ve probably watched this video like 8 times and every time it makes me smile! I just love the energy of the cast they seem like a little fam, so young and excited :’)
Y'all sitting here watching the cast have fun. I'm here sitting and stressing about how close they are getting to places and them not being ready. (Like the inner stage manager I am)
I get hit with waves of feeling so incredibly lucky to be on the same planet and know of people like jonathan so the idea of being like ruby and going to the show that often has me reeling😂
I wanted this video to keep on going and never end! What a fun, cool cast! I'm gonna get working on my time machine so I can travel back to go see Spring Awakening with the original cast!
Brings back Senior year of high School memories for me. I didn't care for live theatre or Boradway etc. Until I saw Spring Awakening on a Saturday night (John Groff and Lea Michele were still there)...I've never been quite the same since.
Pretty sure Ruby commented on one of Lauren’s IG posts about the reunion. Someone named Ruby 2 days ago: Lauren, can’t wait to see all of you on Monday! Missed you and this show so much! 😳 lucky
The whole time I was like "Jesse St. James! Rachel Berry! Jean Baptiste! Penny Owen!" lol When was Jenna in the cast? Was she an understudy or was she cast later, or...?
This is like 14 years late but would anyone here happen to know who won the coloring contest? This question has been haunting me for like 6 months so if anyone has any info that would be great :)
This is truly the cutest thing i think i was 15 when this show played in new york and i live in australia so this wasnt on my radar and sadly i wasnt clever enough to realise how much i love theatre and and broadway shoulda saved up at 15 and bought myself a ticket to New york citay point is no point just glad groff and john gallagher jnr managed to find their way into my life however too late. i wonder how lea stopped herself from falling head over for these lovelies.
baby jonathan groff is SO precious
Paulina Edel Jonathan Groff today is precious lmao
no
YES
When you're 9 years late to the fandom
can relate
honestly sameee i love the deaf west production tho :)
Can’t relate I was 6 years late to the fandom.
Saaaaaammmmmeeeeee
Same

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE SO YOUNG THIS IS SO WEIRD I LOVE IT
How old was he here?:)
Jana Pavlicová 22 or 23 I think
I love how Johnny and Gideon are just standing in their room looking and sounding high
"That's a big mic..."
👏🏻Haha👏🏻👏🏻
i wish he was my best friend
Me too
Agreed
thatdamlex Same
I wish I was him
Me too
We've named the key. The key's name is Kate.
lol
Well it IS the best name....
how tf does a group of teenage girls afford to see a broadway show every week, even the matinee?!
Rich parents
There are ways to get really cheap tickets to many of the Broadway shows, especially if you are young.
Actually Ruby’s the daughter of one of the technicians for the show.
@@snehaverghese6332 I'm curious how you learned that? I'm not doubting you at all though. I love all the little lore :)
They may be just coming to stage door every week
THE AMISH COUNTRY PICTURE TO "REMEMBER HIS ROOTS" 😂😂😂
Mennonite! 🤍
"Thats a big microphone .. That wouldn't fit in our pockets.." ..... I think I just died , haha... Gideon
Can we just talk about how cute John Gallagher Jr was slacking off
kmb729 IKR SMHHSHHSSH
Yes
I love that they're all fully grown adults but this whole time I just keep saying "AWE MY LITTLE BABIES MY SWEET CHILDREN"
Excuse frickin' me how can a lil girl afford to go to every frickin' Sunday matinee
Maybe she’s rich
Missy Minnick Daddy’s credit card.
Samantha Victoria I doubt *she* is. I think she has indulgent parents/grandparents. All in all it’s a harmless pastime.
Maybe she won tickets? Maybe she's a great student and it's some sort of reward? Maybe she does odd side jobs like babysitting or dog walking JUST to make enough to go to the show?

"i got dressed early today"
"why is that"
"I DONNO"
I love Gideon 😂
Baby Jonathan Groff is the cutest thing (and baby Lea and baby everyone else)
Groff highkey looks like a young Sam Winchester right here
he does aswell w h a t
woah
Jesus Christ he does wtf
The original cast of Spring Awakening is absolutely amazing! And i love how this is before they all became big movie stars! x
I absolutely love how enthusiastic Lea was.
he's literally 12 in this video oh my god
jim jim jay what really?
nao mi haha I think he's in his 20s
He was actually 21 when he debuted in spring awakening
lol no.
Uhm, do you guys not know sarcasm? Or an expression?
Ok but I still wanna know who won the Johnny B. coloring contest
same. Jon please do a number II of this and give us some info
You really don't. If I've learned anything from theater, it's that you should never give actors crayons.
Kaitlyn Stroud
i am in love with john gallagher jr. "i must save it for spring awakening's intense workload of vocal stylings"
*Gideon:* that's a big mic
*Jonathan:* it is a big mic, bigger than the ones in the show actually
*Gideon, shaking his head in defeat:* it wouldn't fit in our pockets
i wonder if he still has that scrapbook......
Every few years I always find myself watching this & falling in love with this cast all over again, especially John Gallagher Jr.
Jonathan’s both joking and dead serious tone when he said “I think you’re gonna win the competition” to John Gallagher Jr.
"I'm actually headed to get my pay check" OMG Lauren I'm Dying
I LOVE JONATHAN!!! I love how I can hear Kristoff from Frozen when I don't watch the video but only listening to the audio! I love how he was in Frozen.
Yep. He's adorable. I wish he was my little brother.
Gideon is the cutest human of all time.
true
but really i wanted to see Groff's colouring of Johnny B Wright
Same. And Lea’s tbh
I am a key
Same
shut up Kate you're a salt
Me too I fangirled so hard when he said that
They're all so much older and successful and wow... I'm rewatching this video so I'm remembering small things like the drawing contest and aww......
Jonathan's mom was my health teacher in 3 grade 3 years ago
Lucky
WHAT the FUCK
WHAT THE IM PAST 3RD GRADE BUT SEND ME TO YOUR SCHOOL
omg haha
Awesome! I do remember reading somewhere that both his parents are teachers
Gideon is so adorable (:
JOHN LOOKS SO
S O F T
I'M EMOTIONAL
4:04 “famous people started coming so I wanted their autographs”...hun look at you now🥺🥰😂
The first thing I said when I saw Gideon was "DWEEB" so yeah, that's my love for him right there.
Oh my god, infant Krysta Rodriguez
Must be so fun to be in the musical theater industry. This would be a dream
“We’ve been ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’ since August” just shows how young they areeee
Am i the only one looking at this in 2020
Me 2
Try 2021
I’m looking at this in 2024 and I just saw Jonathan in merrily we roll along last week. I’m totally starstruck! He was amazing then and now.
Glee was basically just a spring awakening reunion
and now we actually got one
they're all so sweet this is adorable
WHEN I SAW KRYSTA I SCREAMED BECAUSE I WASNT AWARE THAT SHE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL SA AS WELL AS THE DWSA OMG YES
Gideon is so small omg "It wouldn't fit in our pocket" cutie pie
LOLO dated Skylar Astin and now my mind is blown
Rebecca Jay LOLO?!?!?! As in the featured artist on Panic! At the Discos hit song Miss Jackson?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Samantha Victoria her real name is Lauren Pritchard and she was in this show :)
Rebecca Jay Wait, I thought Skylar was gay ?
@@marielucchini5260 no, Jonathan Groff is gay, Skylar is married to Anna Camp
OH MY GOD this is so precious!!!
i just rewatch this every other year and it always cheers me up
Didn't realize how tall Gideon got since spring awakening! Aww they we're all so young
I’ve probably watched this video like 8 times and every time it makes me smile! I just love the energy of the cast they seem like a little fam, so young and excited :’)
I used to watch this video all the time, six years ago... It's time to watch it again!
Y'all sitting here watching the cast have fun. I'm here sitting and stressing about how close they are getting to places and them not being ready. (Like the inner stage manager I am)
"We sing in the song that can't be named.." This just made me realize; Voldemort is the human version of Totally Fucked.
I recognize the majority of the cast from different shows or movies
I can’t get over the fact that Jonathan Groff was interviewing the actors who play Anna and ilse, gotta love foreshadowing😂😂
look at his hair oh my

jonathan’s voice makes me smile :]
He’s too precious, my heart can’t take it!
I get hit with waves of feeling so incredibly lucky to be on the same planet and know of people like jonathan so the idea of being like ruby and going to the show that often has me reeling😂
Skylar came on and i wanted to cry
You can tell he has so much love for his castmates, show and fans omg
I wanted this video to keep on going and never end! What a fun, cool cast! I'm gonna get working on my time machine so I can travel back to go see Spring Awakening with the original cast!
Brings back Senior year of high School memories for me. I didn't care for live theatre or Boradway etc. Until I saw Spring Awakening on a Saturday night (John Groff and Lea Michele were still there)...I've never been quite the same since.
That was the sweetest video I've ever seen.
Gideon is so cute aw
“I dunno” 😂😂😂
When you notice the play doh in his dressing room 😂
Wait, Jonathan’s? 😂
Update: I found it haha I love him even more now
End of 2023 and I'm somehow going through a Groff phase. Again.
"Or can it?" Video cuts off
they’re all so cute this is so nostalgic 🥺
Pretty sure Ruby commented on one of Lauren’s IG posts about the reunion.
Someone named Ruby 2 days ago: Lauren, can’t wait to see all of you on Monday! Missed you and this show so much!
😳 lucky
"hot young stars"
yES
Ahh the “blah blah blah” towel was so cute🥺😂
Thank you so much. This was so delightful.
one day this will become an artifact in theatre history
Two Jesses in the same room!
Precious Gideon is now nominated for a Tony!! 💕💕
"It's actually my hair dying..."
i have accepted that i will love him all my whole life and so i know i will have phases that will last for months where i will be obsessed with him
This is so early 2000's I LOVE it!!!
OMB! We missed it. This was exactly the time when Groff would have been perfect to play Candide!
The whole time I was like "Jesse St. James! Rachel Berry! Jean Baptiste! Penny Owen!" lol When was Jenna in the cast? Was she an understudy or was she cast later, or...?
Jenna replaced one of the Ensemble members later on in the run. But still early on and was working with most, if not all, the OBC.
Lmao I love how skylar thinks leave in conditioner will fix his burnt hair
Jon and Leah are so young and fresh! This is adorable. You can bet "Ruby" wet her pants when she saw this.
im watching this from 2019 and oh my golly this screams 2007
KRYSTA!!!!! ahhhhh love her she's amazing
PLS THEYRE ALL SO CUTEEEE
Baby groffsauce
Lol. I wonder if that moniker groffsauce has anything to do with him liking to drink and party aka "sauced"
Gideon is SO DANG CUTE 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
AHHHH! MY BABIES! THEY WERE SO LITTLE! THIS MAKES ME WANNA CRY!!!
I miss big curly haired Groff. It looked so good on him.
it makes me so sad that i might never get to see it live or at least on a good legal recording someday
OMG JONATHAN GROFF LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUTE
This is like 14 years late but would anyone here happen to know who won the coloring contest? This question has been haunting me for like 6 months so if anyone has any info that would be great :)
It was Nathaniel, the hairdresser in case anyone wants to know :)

I’m coming here from the TKAM vlogs that Gideon does and I’m screaming he is so cute and young and ugh I love him
I love how you can hear Gideon in the background, "They're here..."
baby jonathan is so adorable oh my god
