Arcadia students get surprise Zoom visit from Broadway star Jonathan Groff
At a recent rehearsal for Arcadia Theater’s production of Spring Awakening: the Musical, Arcadia students got a surprise visit on Zoom from Broadway star Jonathan Groff (Hamilton, Merrily We Roll Along). Groff starred in the original Broadway cast of Spring Awakening along with the director of our production, Robi Hager. Our cast sang the musical’s closing number, “Purple Summer” for him.
