He is sooo talented. From music to serious acting. Honestly, put him in more things. We will watch. All the love from PA 😘💗🫶

[@bethanyirene7120]

When Daniel attacks him and Jonathan squeezes his hands in the air right before - instant tears. The way they hugged makes me think that they’ll be friends for life after this show is done.

[@inkstroke]

So talented and so beautiful, my King George!

[@KB_321]

Need more Jonathan Groff, fell in love with his role in Mindhunter but didn’t realise he was a theatre guy, man of many talents.

[@BakaKageyamaBaka]

Jesse finally got a Tony! :)

[@kaigeddes]

He worked hard for this--congratulations!

[@channyh.221B]

Honostly, this Belgian old lady didn't know who Jonathan Groff was until two bloody weeks ago, when I first saw him in Doctor Who as 'Rogue' and man, he blew me away with his performance. Best episode of the series! Learning what he has accomplished so far in his carreer, it was an honor he would play in one of my favourite series (and a love interest to The Doctor) and listening to his speech here, it's thrilling he finally got his biggest (for him personally) recognition award: a Tony. Well done, sir!

[@kimbrolyy]

He's in Mind Hunter and famously the king in Hamilton. Both roles are very different from each other but he plays them so well

[@KnicknackCottonWolf]

A king of kings, happy for him. Fell in love with him in Looking, and hes only been doing the damn thing since then.

[@potterisqatsi]

lo amo tanto

[@baokachi9767]

He didnt win for king george? Outrageous!! Congratulations 🎉

[@siobhanmulvey]

I wish I had been a theater kid- it’s something I loved but wasn’t exposed to very much. Now I have written a few plays and they mean everything ti me.

[@scottkrause477]

Such a deserved accolade for Mr. Groff!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@arieljensen2617]

That was beautiful how he gave tribute to his family & acknowledged their wonderful influence on his life. ❤

[@marshawaterhouse6150]

He was amazing in “Mindhunter” on Netflix.

[@monicta8]

I cried 🥺❤️‍🩹

[@lwaccount4358]

Brought me to tears!

[@mizuenishimura1869]

He makes me cry.

[@AnitaReddinger-xe6zq]

ME too I definitely agree with you and your comment too Jonathan my favorite from show Glee

[@issymitchell9102]

Whoever was in charge of the height on the microphone needs to be fired…

I didn't know it was out of the closet until I heard this speech

[@apolodorosnikotatopulos662]

he came out during the tour of spring awakening

[@xephronzz9585]

I'm happy for him, it takes a lot of guts to do that with a large amount of people dehumanizing folks like him! God bless him!

[@maelwael]
