I don't know why no one has commented on a #30 post I made of Jonathan Groff's performance of "You'll Be Back".
Is it that no one watched it? Is it that you did but found it uninspiring? Is it that people sometimes find musical theatre to be little more than watered down knockoff opera?
I wish I could find a version without commentary interspersed. It just doesn't seem to exist unfortunately.
But really. How can you watch/listen to this acting performance and
not be impressed by his virtuoso performance?
Tell me why. I don't understand!
Here's another analysis of it that is, in spots, off the mark and at times a bit irritating, but it does touch on all the various facets of the performance. For me it is the benchmark for what I was thinking of when I asked for great performances.
Btw, this is a part of a medley of cameo appearances by King George in the play. Each one adroitly presents the "other side" in a most hyperbolic way. Brilliant lyric writing by Lin Manuel Miranda.
