Jonathan Groff Reveals Details on THE NORMAL HEART, LOOKING & More!

Jonathan Groff has a lot happening in the coming months, having lent his voice to Disney's upcoming Frozen film, and starring in Ryan Murphy's big screen adaptation of The Normal Heart, and HBO's Looking. The Broadway veteran is also featured in this year's OUT100 List, and in the corresponding interview, he dishes on all of his upcoming projects.

On his history with The Normal Heart, he revealed: "The first time I saw it was off-Broadway at The Public Theater starring Raul Esparza. I hysterically cried. I remember the scene with the milk, where they come home with the groceries. I read it a couple years later and I cried again. It's such a visceral piece of material, whether you're seeing it or reading it. It's very intense. When I was on Glee, Ryan [Murphy] said, "You should read the script, because I want to find a place for you in it." So I read it again, and I was devastated. I hope that the movie does it justice."

He added on his childhood dreams of Broadway: "I always wanted to move to New York and be a Broadway gypsy. I wanted to be in the ensemble of a Broadway show-that was my ultimate dream growing up. In fifth grade, the first Broadway musical I ever saw wasBeauty and the Beast. And my teacher leaned over to me and said, "Someday, Jonathan, you're gonna be in that orchestra pit playing the trumpet"-because I played the trumpet in elementary school. And I thought, No, in my gut. I'd never done a play at this point, I'd never sung publicly, I'd never acted-but in my gut, and in my imagination, I thought, No, no, no, I don't want to be in the pit. I want to be on stage. I want to be in the ensemble of a Broadway show. That's what I always dreamt of."
