I love how Lea and Jonathan were literally holding hands the entire interview. So cute, I love their friendship

[@SummerGirl6380]

Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele have such a beautiful friendship.

[@islamperfectwayoflife26]

[@mcsquawkbox7917]

SummerGirl6380 weird how theatre people can grope eachothers tits, grind on eachothers privates and still just be friends. I could never date an actress

[@momofSandN]

I just love Jonathan's voice...and I adore their friendship.

[@annika8930]

I am still hoping for it to happen...

[@paulinajozefowska471]

let this day come already!

[@ifallintofantasy]

Lea: It was a very hard show to do every night...umm i remember one night, coming of stage. Coved in sweat-Jonathan's sweat- Jon: (quitlely laughs) Lea: and tears and prouablly some blood somewhere, and i said "oh.... i just want to do a comedy." Jon: You don't miss my sweat?? Lea: No i was going to say i still get your sweat. but that's going to sound a liltte inporpulate. Jon: (laughs) Right we would have to explain the context- Lea: I don't want to get into that Jon: Yeah lets not get into that. (god bless these two that cracked me up laughing)

[@sageemiliana8407]

John Gallagher Jr was so freaking great as Moritz and I can't even like express how great he was. And then seeing all of them together again is so amazing like I always wonder after a show is done for actors like "do you remember these people afterwards" I mean obviously some do, look at Lea and Johnathan

[@toomuchtv5768]

i love that lea and jon are holding hands the whole time

[@allisonodell2859]

Watching this in 2022 after the HBO documentary. I saw the date and realized how soon after Cory’s death this was. I know Jonathon and Lea are close but they were probably holding hands because she’s still hurting so deeply and needed to hold onto Jonathon both emotionally and literally. Love them and this show .

[@beryla4979]

That was my first thought when I looked at the date/year 💔

[@ganiisness]

groffsauce is such a nerd in that hat. I love it!

[@bluegalaxy14]

"covered in sweat; jonathan's not mine." LOLOLOL

I love how J&L are never not holding hands

[@hakunamattata437]

I love this show and was so lucky to get to see almost all of the originals in it. The story is fantastic and the cast is so talented it just oozes out of them. From Lilli and Lauren's "The Dark I Know Well" to Jonathan, John, and Lea's "Those You've Known", this show is just so incredible. I wish it was still on broadway. Plus I'm in love with Jonathan Groff

[@EspaALSC]

hakunamattata437 who isn't in love with Jonathan Groff?

[@AnneMarjorieKoskinenLambert]

When they're holding hands 😍

[@georgieag]

[@beatricetoscano2247]

My thoughts exactly!

[@katty1776]

I love Lea so much. So talented, very sweet. I love Jonathan too. Best friendship ever.

[@raushelle]

I love that Lea said 'oi fey'. hahaha

[@passionswim]

She said "Oy vey" :D and yes...it was adorable :D ♥

[@Starclover1]

Not even a year after Cory's passing. Lea is putting on a brave face but you can tell she is grieving. Her eyes are sad, her demeanor was off. Jon was holding her hand to support her.

[@denisebelt2850]

I love her she amazing and love Jonathan

[@Max-my6rk]

Lea will never forget about Cory.. Cory is kinda a scar for Lea.. I am so glad she has JG as BFF who is always with her.. JG is such an angel.

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

I love that Lea and Johnathan are still best friends.

[@olly9685]

it took me this long to realise that Lauren Pritchard (LOLO) was in Spring Awakening, i love her music so much

[@jellyfishyishy]

Wow, so like the emotions from the show and even the relationships would translate to offstage too because of how much they were into their characters

[@morhakham6314]

Jonathan is so cute when he got into the room at the beginning.

[@aquinoga1127]

I can't believe no one has wondered/asked where Skylar Astin and Jonathan Wright is!! Lol. Especially Skylar. I had such a crush on him. After Jonathan Groff, of course. Haha.

Me too.I know Skylar might have been filming a movie,but that reunion thing is just not the same without Skylar being there.:-(

Was this after Cory died? What name was on Lea’s necklace? How lovely for Lea to have such a beautiful friend in Jonathon.

[@denisebelt2850]

Cory

Her necklace says love and yh it was after he passed, that why she looks so reserved. Jonathan is such a good best friend
