On the Red Carpet: 'There Are No Skips,' Says Daniel Radcliffe on the Enduring Love for Merrily We Roll Along

"It feels like a real gift to be bringing Merrily back to Broadway after 42 years, to be bringing it back in this moment, post-pandemic, where everything feels a little sweeter in the air," says Groff. "I cried so hard when we left the New York Theatre Workshop because I love doing Off-Broadway. I love the intimacy of it. And I was really feeling like, 'Oh God, it's never going to be the same.' Then we came into the Hudson Theatre. And I had the revelation that this show was written to be on Broadway. You hear the overture with a full band. And it's like, 'Oh, wow, this is what this show was crafted for.'"

So I got to see Jonathan in Merrily We Roll Along yesterday (matinee)!!

I dont even know where to start describing the experience. It was my first time at NYTW and I was in the third row. Jonathan was basically 2 meters aways from me at times and getting to see his talent up close was overwhelming and mind blowing!

The show is phenomenal. I went it only knowing it was Sondheim, a short description and the fact that the show hat flopped originally, but it really blew me away. The emotions, the cheer and the hope were conveyed by all the actors in such an incredible way. Jonathan really got to show off his amazing talent by going through all the emotions, from layered to expressive, as well as doing a fun little skit. You could see him enjoy every second of being on that stage!

I have to say that Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez as well as the entire ensemble were amazing. Jonathan obviously stole the show for me and I spend the show wiping away tears because of how lucky I felt to be there and witness it.

I came back after the evening show and waited around but he dis not come out, and probably snuck to a car (which I fully get because of the temps, him being told off about signing and taking pictures and the holidays). But keep that in mind.

Lindsay Mendez missed the matinee performance of "Merrily We Roll Along" today (30 December) and it was the first performance by her understudy Jamila Sabares-Klemm (@jamilajoy) as Mary.

A video of the curtain call by Merrily Associate Director Ryan Dobrin is above, including Jonathan giving Jamila flowers (and hugs) and a jumping with excitement Daniel Radcliffe.

Gorgeous production, so glad it’s transferring. Jamila Sabares-Klemm was a great Mary, and I got emotional when Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe didn’t even bow because they were too busy giving her flowers and hugging her. Iconic sweeties.

She was fabulous and groff and danrad brought flowers out for her at curtain call. She cried. We all cried.

Video of the bows from earlier this week following the debut performance of swing Koray Tarhan is below from bwaySHO.
