I saw JGroff during the run of Spring Awakening; you were definitely covered in spit if you sat in the front row. It was basically his signature.

reading this with a covid state of mind: omg

I saw a one man show with Billy Crudup (it was incredible) but I was front row and lord I saw so much spit come out of his mouth. I can only imagine that's the norm for theater actors that have to project to a whole audience.

i love Phillipa Soo's voice

(and i was pretty surprised by how bad LMM was tbh, don't think i ever saw him acting in anything else before)

he sounds like a muppet. it's almost comically bad during hurricane. but i read that this was filmed right after the tonys and two weeks before his departure so he was probably exhausted.

His alternate, Javier Muñoz, who did Sunday matinees and eventually took over the role is a much better singer. I didn't care for Hurricane at all until I heard Javier sing it.

I got tickets for a Sunday, not knowing I'd see Javier (which was probably why I could get a ticket), and I have never regretted it because I think he is a much better performer than LMM.

I got so flustered the times I saw him at the stage door. He's just too handsome, talented and sweet.

He’s effortlessly cool and sexy

Why the fuck did LMM lock his twitter? You've got millions of followers, what's the point? He's since unlocked it, but... what was the point?

carminaburana July 4 2020, 20:57:48 UTC

Was Groff’s drooling intentional? It was distracting.

Been reading some interesting criticisms of Hamilton lately (mostly by Lyra Monteiro) and then read this take this morning and still thinking about it.

tsarinakate1 July 4 2020, 21:05:49 UTC

Oh god, Aja Romano.

carminaburana July 4 2020, 21:08:48 UTC

Haha i don’t know anything about her. But picturing LMM as a fanfic writer made me LOL all morning.

tsarinakate1 July 4 2020, 21:21:52 UTC

Mostly they've been BIG in fandom communities forever - I believe they were in the core fandom writers clique in Harry Potter. I can't even explain the frustration I feel around them. They really jump from fandom to fandom courting the BNFs

Mostly, their life has revolved around fandom forever and so it's just - of course it colors how she view everything in the world. Its just fanfic! Its just a race-bent AU fanfic of a nonfiction novel when, there is an actual genre of what they are alking about, Historical Fiction.

Also I started reading that article, god halfway through and went - wait a second only one person writes these kinds of articles, scrolled to the top and there Aja was. Never change Aja!
