Just watched the 92 St Y conversation with creatives and Groff and interestingly, Groff just talked about “the person who plays Bobby next.” I honestly just assumed they’d close the show after he leaves. He essentially is the show. Thoughts about anyone who can do it like he’s doing it?
Matt Magnusson played Bobby Darin for the Bryant Park performance today - it was interesting to see someone other than Jonathan do it! I stumbled on that because I wanted to see Gracie Lawrence's beautiful rendition of "Who's Sorry Now?" as a tribute to Connie Francis. Lawrence always sounds great but it had a little extra emotion today at Bryant Park (and presumably at the show tonight, too).

At the show on Thursday Groff did a curtain call speech about Connie Francis and Gracie Lawrence sang “Where the boys are”.
