Lexi Carson The third time’s the charm. Jonathan Groff has won his first Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for “Merrily We Roll Along.” Groff played Franklin Shepard alongside Lindsay Mendez and Daniel Radcliffe who also won his first Tony Award at the 77th Annual Tony Awards, which Groff was also in tears over when Radcliffe thanked him in his speech. Groff’s “Merrily We Roll Along” was his third nomination.
He was previously nominated for his roles as King George the III in “Hamilton” and Melchior Gabor in “Spring Awakening.” In a teary-eyed speech, Groff said the Tony Awards have always meant a lot to him, and he used to tape it on VHS when he was a child, “All I wanted was to be a part of this community,” after growing up in a conversation town in Pennsylvania. Groff paused to call out his parents who were also in attendance and thank them, “My family knew the life-saving power of fanning the flame of a young person’s passion without judgment…I walk through life with an open heart because you let me know that I could,” Groff added about the support he’s received from his parents. Groff mentioned this year was his 20-year anniversary of moving to New York City.
When he first did, he worked as a server but always yeared for the stage. He also thanked his “Spring Awakening” cast for inspiring him to come out of the closet at 23 years old. Groff first met best friend, Lea Michele during his time acting in “Spring Awakening” where the two played lovers.

I think about the walls of theaters all over this magical town holding the impact of each and every one of you in this room, and all of those who came before and I think how lucky those walls are to bear witness to the relentless interrogation of human experience that we endeavor to explore nightly for each other, to give back to one another with the hope of finding some shared path towards the truth about being alive. This is the heart and soul of what we do, and I am so honored to be amongst you.”
