Anybody ever meet him?


I have been a big fan of Jon's ever since Spring Awakening and I really want to meet him someday.I live in Pennsylvania about 2 hours from Lancaster so I think that's realy cool lol. Has anybody ever met him in person?? If so could you post your stories and if you have any pictures could please post them as well.

Thanks (=

Hi!

Yes, I met him twice in September 2010 when he was doing "Deathtrap" (the play) in London at the stage door. I also went to a charity concert he was performing in and met him after the show.

He was very lovely and very sweet, we didn't have such a one on one chance to talk but after the play there were only 15 or so people and myself and another girl who had previously met him were the last ones so he chatted awhile. i was completely starstuck so I wasn't able to formulate sentences during the first meeting but he did take pictures and sign my playbill.

I also got the chance during the concert to sit on the balcony where the acts were (i had no idea about this) and got to see him in a more relaxed setting when he wasn't performing or something. He was just being normal and was SO attentive during each of the other acts performances. He was a real professional and just so nice.

Afer the concert he was signing autographs before he left and I spoke to him again (he said he remembered me from the stagedoor!) He seemed really out of it, which I blame either on the alcohol or his sheer lack of rest for that week, but he was still nice! When I was leaving he gave me the sweetest and tightest hug goodbye.



Let's do this the American way. Bolt the door, take off your things..let's have a taste!

I can't belive i missed him in Deathtrap! My sister went to see it and she didn't even know who he was. Said he was sexy though!
I've not met him but by all accounts i've read he is areally sweet guy and takes time to talk to fans. He always comes across as lovely in interviews too. No ego.

I know he always comes off so sweet in interviews and it makes me want to meet him even more!

Met him in London after watching Deathtrap. He was very sweet to all his fans. Took pictures with us, too. He's a brilliant actor and a great guy. Wish him all the best in the future.

He's a peach. He has it all--looks, deep talent, charisma, genuine charm and a winning modesty. I met him backstage three times during the Broadway run of Spring Awakening and even sent him a short note congratulating him on his Tony nomination. A few months later, he wrote me a lovely reply--actually apologizing for not answering sooner--and I was surprised and very pleased.

He's got a really good head on his shoulders and is smart enough to know how to handle the success and the career he wants to cultivate. He's one performer I will go out of my way to see--whether it's on stage, television or at the cinema. He's going to be around for a very long time. Deservedly so.

"Thank you, thank you--you're most kind. In fact you're every kind."

I have not met Jonathan Groff but from what I've seen in videos and interviews he seems a nice guy who is sweet and kind to his fans and people who know.
Here is a video I found and he is kind with the fans, take pictures with them, sign autographs and talk to them. He looks very nice.
