The Broadway veteran of such shows as Spring Awakening, Hamilton and star of TV’s Looking won the Tony Award for best leading actor in a musical for his star turn in a revival of Merrily We Roll Along which is finally a hit. Groff’s co-star, Daniel Radcliff, also won his first Tony in the featured actor in a musical category. Here are both of their acceptance speeches along with tonight’s performance of Old Friends at the Tonys with the show’s leading lady Lindsay Mendez.
