On a recent visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jonathan Groff shared the inside scoop about where he keeps his coveted Tony Award. "I really thought, if anything like that ever happened, I would send it right to my parents," the actor explained.
"But then the Tony came to my apartment and I was like, 'I love this.' It's on the bookshelf in my apartment, right above the electric drum set..." Groff won his first Tony Award for his performance in the recent revival of Merrily We Roll Along, and has been nominated again for Just in Time.
For his performance as Bobby Darin in the hit musical, Groff shared that he is learning to play both the drums and the piano for the role, though he admits his repertoire is limited. "I can play what I play in the show, and nothing else...I'm learning all of these new skills for the show that I want to keep going. It makes me feel so joyful."
