  • VIDEO: Jonathan Groff in action

    Updated: 2010-06-25 17:22:59
    Here's a sneaky peak of Jonathan Groff singing Queen's Don't Stop Me Now at Joe's pub in New York this week. Here's hoping he decides to pop himself into We Will Rock You in London after he's finished with his starring role in comedy thriller DEATHTRAP - which starts rehearsals soon for its 20 August opening in London at the Noel Coward Theatre. We expect to hear about lots of JG sightings around town in the next few months, although will try and suppress an urge to stalk the poor lad! We also hope that he will keep up his singing practice whilst performing in a play by doing a few nights at the Pigalle Club (we hear Gavin Creel from Hair was fabulous last Sunday at the Pigalle - the same night Jonathan sang in New York).
