Video: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Stars Recall Onstage Mishaps and Line Flubs on LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Tony winners Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez visited Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday to discuss the new film version of Broadway's Merrily We Roll Along.

During the conversation, the trio spoke about watching the filmed version for the first time. "I think it was great. There were so many things we had missed that we never see because we were on stage doing it," explained Mendez. 

They went on to talk about their onstage mishaps, including a couple involving Groff. "Jonathan is the worst onstage. If something goes wrong, he just looks at you and [grins.]" Mendez said. One such mishap was a major lyric flub from the Just in Time star during "Opening Doors." Check out the interview to see footage from the performance, and the "line" he said instead!
