Jonathan Groff, Bobby Darin And The Art Of Doing It All – Deadline Tony Award Q&A


Deadline Q&A with Tony Award nominee Jonathan Groff.

Darin was one of show business’ ultimate shape-shifters who went from early rock-and-roller (“Splish Splash”), heartthrob crooner (“Dream Lover”), Sinatra-like swinger (“Mack The Knife”) and Dylan-esque folkie (“If I Were A Carpenter”) before finally settling back into the “nightclub animal” he was meant to be. In addition to Groff, the cast includes Gracie Lawrence, Erika Henningsen, Michele Pawk, Joe Barbara, Emily Bergl, Lance Roberts, Caesar Samayoa, Christine Cornish, Julia Grondin, Valeria Yamin, John Treacy Egan, Tari Kelly, Matt Magnusson, Khori Michelle Petinaud and Larkin Reilly. And when you look at the cover of this record it’s Bobby Darin standing there with his kind of, like, iconic bent wrist, singing in this gray suit, and he’s surrounded at the Copa by these tables where people could literally reach out and touch him or vice versa.
