I'm sorry but Jonathan Groff looks like Macauley Culkin doing some sort of ABBA bio pic.

They do look like a tidy Tribe, don't they? So well-dressed and clean clean clean.

Groff has a much better wig than he had last summer.

I dont like his wig neither, it looks like Macaulay Culkin meets Cynthia Nixon's character in Sex in the City and its about to fall out any minute! Will Swenson is the only one that looks authentic and decent!

Very sad. Too clean. Gym bodies? They look like someone's idea of what hippies look like. These pictures prove to me that this show should not be done. It is no longer relevant.

Jonathan Groff looks like a girl in these photos -- or perhaps a drag queen doing Julianne Moore in a hippie costume.

Why is Groff so sweaty in every picture they print of him? And not just the performance pics (those I can understand). I'm bored at work, so the minutia of life is getting to me.

I too thought that the last time this came up.

See, most people complained about Groff's spitting when they went to see 'Spring Awakening'. Being on an onstage seat, I didn't get spat on. But he did sweat on me when he went clambering up the wall next to my seat. Ewww...

Is anyone else frightened of Groff's wig, or is it just me?

Groff's clean-shaven look with the bad wig is what bothers me the most.

So sanitized. It's as phony as can be.

He needs some scraggly facial hair growth. Just because you're a singer doesn't mean you don't have to try to "be" the character. That's very amateurish and shows a total lack of commitment on his part.

"I'll just throw on a wig for two hours, collect my paycheck... then go home and be pretty."

Pathetic.

And the girls' makeup!

I agree B12B, but there is a director on this production isn't there? And a costumer? They are the ones who are ultimately responsible for the actors look. I'm hoping that by the time this production hits the park, they will have "dirtied" up these folks a bit. Right now it looks like the Greenwich Connecticut Ladies Guild production of HAIR starring their grandchildren.

I agree about Groff - he looks so wrong.

But Will Swenson is HOTTTTTT!

You mean to tell me that the actors actually take showers, use deodorant, and the girls don't have armpit hair down to their knees? PREPOSTEROUS!!!!!!!!!!

The actors being too clean somehow translates into the show no longer being relevant? Somehow I'm missing the logic there...

Groff's wig isn't flattering, but at least it doesn't look like recent roadkill sitting on his head like it did last summer.

LOL!

And you're right about the creative team not stepping up to the plate here. I'm not sure the costume designer is ultimately responsible for facial hair. Is it the wig dude? The actor? His agent? Surely the director is responsible for the show.

Somebody needs to say something though!

Otherwise we can all look forward to:

I'm just saddened by this, so it deserves to be beat up a bit.



Look at Groff's jubilant jump here! So calculated that he has to hold down his beads so they don't fly up and smack him in the face.

He's not caught up in the moment. He's caught up thinking about his friggin' beads that might smack him in the face when he jumps real high.

If the audience can see that so clearly, how are we supposed to be swept away by his character's unbridled nature.

There's nothing "loose" or "freeing" about it at all.
