News summary

Jonathan Groff won his first Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his role in the revival of 'Merrily We Roll Along,' marking his third nomination. Groff thanked his family for their unwavering support and acceptance, sharing that he often acted out scenes from 'I Love Lucy' and dressed up as Mary Poppins as a child. The musical, which tells the story of a deteriorating friendship backward in time, also earned Daniel Radcliffe his first Tony Award for Featured Actor in a Musical. Groff's portrayal of Franklin Shepard has been widely praised, contributing significantly to the show's success after its initial flop in 1981. Groff, already a Grammy winner for 'Hamilton,' is now halfway to achieving EGOT status. He expressed deep gratitude for the Broadway community, which supported him since he moved to New York City 20 years ago.
