Jonathan Groff Talks Famous Theater Audience Members

Jonathan Groff recently sat down for an interview with Dot429, where he talked about his experiences with some famous audience members when he was a part of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton.

On whether or not he was disappointed that Madonna was banned from the theater:
"No. Because that bitch was on her phone. You couldn't miss it from the stage. It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show." 

On the time First Lady Michelle Obama attended the show:
"We were collecting for Broadway Cares after the show, and Mrs. Obama stayed in the audience while the Broadway Cares speech happened, and Lin called her out and the audience applauded for her. Then she came backstage and hugged every crew member -- the wig girl, all the costume people, every cast member. She said to us -- and this is a direct quote -- 'This is the greatest piece of art I've ever seen.'"
