Video: Jonathan Groff Talks MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, Barbra Streisand, and More!

Jonathan Groff stopped by The Tonight Show to talk about Merrily We Roll Along, how Barbra Streisand knows he exists, and more.

"There's something for all of us working on this show that feels super personal," he shared about working on Merrily. "Because it goes back to the beginning of the story at the end, and we end at 20 years old, we end with this energy that you have when you first move to New York and you're excited and full of dreams."

Groff also talked about the tribute he has to Barbra Streisand in his dressing room, a neon sign that reads "BAR bra."

"I made this sign in my dressing room, BAR bra, in honor of Barbra Streisand, I turned my dressing room into a bar," he shared. "We've had Sutton Foster and Patti LuPone and Glenn Close and a bottle of champagne back."

Groff went on to discuss how Streisand herself has yet to stop by, but he told a story about how Meryl Streep came and took a video to share with Streisand.
