I understand he trimmed the beard but didn't shave it.  What a shame.  he is such a cutie but that beard is hideous.

I don't have an opinion on the beard, but its continued existence makes me wonder (cue baseless speculation) if he and the producers have discussed a possible back-by-popular-demand return later this year, particularly if ticket sales / grosses lag.

I loved the show enough to buy tickets again for December, and at this point I'm merely hoping the show sticks around that long. As wonderful as Groban was, I would love to see someone else for variety's sake. But if he returned I wouldn't mind in the slightest.

"I like the beard! He almost has too much of a baby face without it, in my opinion... and I tend to prefer clean-shaven guys, so that's saying something. It seems like Comet will probably either cast another big name for Pierre or close this fall. Bringing Groban back would certainly be a lucrative move.

I speculated that it was so he could walk around a little more incognito in NYC, since far fewer people can recognize him with the beard if they aren't aware he was just on Broadway playing a character with a full-on beard.... then he just looks like a hipster LOL.

I confess I may be less likely to recognize him without the beard. Saw him at last night's performance of ASSASSINS.

Genuinely think he looks 10x better with the beard.

Agreed. He looks too goofy without it.
