He only blinks like four times in this whole performance.

[@sharpaycutie2]

Lmaoooo 😂😂🤣🤣

[@mikaell.3627]

They casted the right person to play a psychotic king

[@miserableghost6385]

Apparently he would hold eye contact with someone in the audience while singing this and I cant imagine how that person felt like

[@disableddragonborn]

50% aroused, 50% intimidated would be my guess.

[@remytherat2175]

he spit on my dad 😭😭

[@mxshrxxmbxy]

@@remytherat2175nahhh lmao💀

[@ryanhampson673]

And also during the after show meeting with the audience he would see the person he stated at and would go up to them and say “There’s my guy/gal!”

[@smlfaan3326]

When i watched it with my school į was high up but į think he stared at someone on the bottom level

Theres two types of people in the world, the ones that think the spit is disgusting and the ones that think its brilliant

I mean jesus do you know how talented this guy is. He is an amazing singer all while in fake accent... it's crazy.

[@DextersLab13]

And in the second KGIII song, when he says "Awesome. Wow.", he's an American doing a British accent, who is doing an American accent.

[@maexlou]

The spit is partly intentional. Groff is known for spitting, his nickname is Groffsauce. But with this performance He drank water before going onstage for extra spit. King George III is known as the "mad King" and legends say his mouth Was foaming when he was extremely angry. This just Shows the Genius that is Jonathan Groff.

[@carlotta4th]

I hope there's an article about that extra water thing because it sounds like urban legend. Broadway people are always spitting--it just happens when you're projecting and they get used to it.

[@tyreek.6815]

@@carlotta4th Groff literally said it out of his mouth.😂🖤

[@johnnyjohnny2650]

"When you're gone, I'll go mad...."

[@disableddragonborn]

From what I read, it was purely because of his moist mouth, the fact that it really added to the madness was just a bonus, I thought.

[@elithedabber875]

[@Karen-Campos]

i get the sense he was staring down the audience as if they too were the rebelling subjects! His facial expressions are epic!

[@charlottecunningham2141]

That’s the way I took it too

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

Yes! It's what makes it so perfect and immersive, because it was being filmed and performed in New York, so essentially he is.

[@callalily9842]

Disney offered to "clean up" all of the spit but Groffsauce said he didn't want them to. That he spits when he sings and it is what it is. He wanted it to be authentic.

[@alana_w]

That girl that the British soldier killed is very important to the rest of the musical. She is called "the bullet" she is the symbol of death throughout the whole musical. Look out for her when you watch the rest.

[@michelleedler3414]

King George is known as the Mad King because he literally went insane. So I definitely think the performance and the play on words in the song is about that.

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

Absolutely my favorite. I absolutely died laughing at this song the first time I saw it, and my mouth dropped when I realized that it's the same actor who voices Kristoff in Frozen

[@TheJackieo2006]

His stare is epic. He picks someone in the audience and just stares at them. Creepy

[@TheN8ism]

Fun fact: When he performed with the crown, it was so heavy that he had to walk that way and stand up so straight to stay balanced. The producer thought it was so hilarious that they kept it and forced him to use it. Also, when he said “everybody” for the first time, it was completely in character. So, the chorus, rather than singing in the wings, they all had to quickly run out and stand straight because they didn’t know what else to do. Apparently it was so perfect for the character that he put it into the show.

[@aresef]

What he'd do is he'd pick out particular audience members to stare down and freak out. It's great.

[@disableddragonborn]

If I were the audience member he chose, I'd probably feel 50% intimidated and 50% aroused.🤣

[@rudy4884]

The shoulder choreography is poppin

[@PaoAtzr]

Jonathan Groff stole the show with this performance.

[@Tenchigumi]

A flamboyantly dressed man in a crown awkwardly cross-steps up a stage while singing a bright, bouncy, and comical Beatles-esque show tune. "That is so menacing!" And I absolutely agree. There's the "Joker" type of comedic menace, where something ostensibly comical is actually terrifying because he's so unpredictable, and there's this, where something comical is terrifying because the character is completely predictable and hides nothing; the stark contrast of the happy tune and bright imagery only serves to amplify the overt threats. Brilliant stuff.

[@islandsensation]

The spit goes well with the "crazy" King George.

[@caminski4177]

1:05 there’s a glint of light that shows up in his eye when he sings “belong” and it is horrifying I just noticed it

[@kennethst.bernard2710]

Jonathan Groff is extraordinarily talented. He starred in Mind Hunter for two seasons. The first musical that I saw him in was Spring Awakening when he was very young. Great reaction, as always.

[@jessicahayes7565]

This is what blew me a way 😮😳I watched Mind hunter first . Niece wanted me 2 watch Hamilton. Didn’t even recognize 😮😳 He is Amazing 🤗👏👏👏

[@Spurs24601]

Groff is one of the most talented performers anywhere. Your laughter is so great, makes the video even better!

[@1jidion]

the king had to stand incredibly still because that crown was heavy af

[@ledesmasn]

This is the BEST reaction. I've had to watch a few times.

[@lauriesmith4575]

I swear, the non-blinking only adds to the madness 😂

[@lindseywillard75]

Your laughter is contagious 😷...I’m checking daily for the next theatrical review. It’s like I get to watch it for the first time again, but vicariously through you guys. 😂Thanks 👍

[@lovelyerica9054]

Jonathan Groff came back for the filmed performances, because Lin wanted the original performers. They filmed I believed 3 different performances ( 2 live with a audience & 1 without for all the close ups) ❤️

[@kellygreen7559]

That is why he is nicknamed groff sauce

[@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo]

That walk was actually out of necessity. The original crown prop was so heavy and he did that to keep it from falling off his head and practically snapping is neck. He also was technically wearing heals too.

[@GcCa2Lv]

Can’t wait to see your reaction to his part in The Reynolds Pamphlet

[@myleswidmer4281]

The animatics were cool... I always love when someone, inspired by a work of art can express his or her own take on it; someone who loves it wants to share it with us an new artistic view of it... Very cool. However, this must be seen in the theatrical performance. It's a masterpiece pure and simple (if not simple, maybe incredibly complex with a laser precision vision). Since Disney released it I have maybe, oh I don't know, a MILLION times. And I cry every time.... You guys are boss and you're representing Canada.. All the love to you guys thanks for sharing my enthusiasm for this play. Peace!

[@jennawhite5466]

The best parts of Groff’s performance here is this: He blinks a total of less than 10 times in the number, giving off crazy vibes with the long stares. He never swallows while singing, allowing for the crazy spittle. And he sings a lot of sharp and flat notes. All of this makes her portrayal of the King as a clearly unbalanced individual. And then, of course, there is the murder you to show you my love bits..

[@disableddragonborn]

The way he walks was actually born out of necessity. That crown is apparently really damn heavy and hard to balance on his head.

[@travisgrant5608]

In reality, in history, King George went insane. That's why he was called "MAD KING GEORGE." Here he is portrayed as such. 👍

[@rebekahnewman7732]

My 3 year old can sing all the words. She has a cape similar to that from her grandma, a tiara, and imitates his walk and hands.

[@almendragonzalez1114]

I loved how much you guys enjoyed it!

[@ayoitzshy]

the one dislike is the king cause you were laughing at him.

[@andread4595]

Great reaction you guys! So much fun to watch. Well, you guys and Jonathan of course👍

[@AA-jp3il]

Fun fact: he only blinked 4 times during this entire song

[@krystala6300]

I don't laugh out loud often, but his performance definitely had me laughing. I loved this part.

[@rmoore547]

these the most genuine reactions i've seen

[@mangacraz00]

Also fun fact about the walk. While it was born out of necessity, it became iconic. So much so that when Beyoncé saw the show she was like ‘imma steal that’ and she totally did.

[@SeizeTheDay95]

Fun fact about the spitting: Apparently the real life king had a problem with spitting like that. That’s what I heard anyway.

[@SeizeTheDay95]

Laura Martin-Falla That I have also heard. 👍🏻

[@elizagaskell7957]

Jon Groff is brilliant as had King George III. Groff is a salvia spitter but it makes his performance in Hamilton more believable.

[@lightningmcqueenstan]

Also in the song what comes next when King George is sing the "Da da da" Part then bursts into laughter I believe thats a reference to showing that in the later years of his life he went mad

[@paigeandzelda1886]

I know it’s funny that he just stand still and walks like a runway model but at the time of them filming this his crown was made of a heavy material so he had to stand so still so it wouldn’t move that’s why his head doesn’t move so not only is he great at acting he has a great sense of balance.

[@lightningmcqueenstan]

This is the proper reaction to King George

[@julieschultz6363]

Actually, from what I understand, the spitting was deliberate. I guess he just really wanted to look crazy.

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

See what we had to work with ! No wonder we lost 🤣

[@theoddtrashcan7104]

Fun fact he had an actual structural type of crown which if you didn’t know are almost impossible to keep still on your head which is why he walked like that i wore one of those before I could hardly wear it for a few seconds and he does it for a whole song

[@robertstrong6798]

You have Brits singing 🎵 along and Americans singing to king George perfect 🤩 😂

[@JSKatsky]

Groff said he had to walk like that because that crown was incredibly heavy

[@aheartlikethesea]

This is my favorite song from 'Hamilton'

[@baronessofleeds1866]

Next "First Burn". “First Burn” is a song told from the point of view of Eliza Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton's wife, as a reaction to the recount of his affair in the Reynolds Pamphlet, in lieu of “Burn” from the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Hamilton. Performed by 5 Eliza's in various hamilton Company.

[@amayastout6380]

Fun fact: Jonathan Groff had to walk like that for a while because the crown was extremely heavy. He left the show for a bit and a jewel fell of his crown so, they replaced it and made it much lighter. That's why he was slow. And, Jonathan always spits when he performs.

[@junipersr]

We need what come next and i know him. Ngl King George has all the best performances.

[@zenith2302]

Present.

[@alanfrancis9225]

This guy Johnathan Groff is the number 1 in the King role. No one comes close to him.

[@timlane5445]

Remember the king was going mad and he was playing on that in the acting

[@obsidianthe7th]

Fun fact, the spit is 100% on purpose, king George went mad and was known to fly off the handle and foam at the mouth and spit while yelling. Also i heard the actor drank a bunch of water before that song so his mouth would still have a little water in it, but idk if that's true.

[@gigin6534]

I introduce you to THE GROFF aka Jonathan Groff aka GroffSauce

[@GregPappasJr]

Sheer brilliance!

[@rafaelaveralugo7626]

My second favorite song. Fun fact: This is the guy who voiced kristoff in frozen. sounds different, doesn't he? Also,n there's a video of someone taping his pic on a spray bottle. lol

[@bunta3434]

Now I know where nux got this song hahaha

[@dianayoder1285]

The reason for the walk and why he stands so still is because of the weight of the crown and the outfit

[@xingzhexin8843]

I had to stop mid way listening to this song and was like "wait I know this voice, it's Kristoff from frozen. I remember his voice from "Lost in the woods" in Frozen 2.

[@ExarchGaming]

also the main character from mindhunters about the formation of the behavioral analysis unit of the FBI. The director totally fucked up it's run, as right after season 2 ended, he decided to move on to do another project and let the entire cast free of their contract despite how well the show was received.

[@shootingstar_2143]

You guys... your reactions are too loud, drowning out the video!

[@Gutzuki]

A couple fun facts I’ve learned about the guy playing him, 1 is he’s the same person who voiced kristoff in frozen, 2 is that he wasn’t told to spit and not blink but he actually did it to get more into the role as king George the 3rd was said to be a madman and he would spit and foam out of the mouth
