Anyone know what happened to Groff last night (2/1)?

Howdy folks. Saw Spring Awakening last night. Groff did the first act, and then for the second act Melchior was performed by Jesse Swenson (who was good.) I'm just curious to see if anyone knows what happened - there was no obvious injury, so either they covered something really well or he just got sick or something.

Anyways, show was good (second time I've seen it), and I got a good ticket at TKTS around 4:00, for anyone interested.

Word on the street is that Lea Michele's stank breath made him sick.

I think you're right, taz.

I saw her heading backstage while munching an onion bagel with chive cream cheese.

awww poor thing. Throwing up is no fun I hope he feels better soon!


just for the record, if I was a Broadway actor I'd be SO scared to go on if I was throwing up. Because like.. it can come on really quickly, and then to be onstage and have to throw up? *shudders*

A friend walked by the theater this afternoon before the matinee and told me Jesse Swenson was on as Melchior (Doyle was playing one of the other boys this afternoon) today.

So, if he was ill, he apparently is still too ill to perform.
