Jonathan Groff plays Shakespeare vs Sondheim

Ahead of making his RSC debut as Rosalind in As You Like It, we put Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff to the test. Known for his standout performances on stage and screen, from playing King George in the original Broadway cast of Hamilton to voicing Kristoff in Disney’s Frozen, Jonathan Groff won a Tony Award in 2024 for his role as Franklin Shepard in Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. In this video, RSC Co-Artistic Director and Director of As You Like It challenges him to a quick-fire game. Can he tell which iconic quotes come from Shakespeare’s plays and which are from Sondheim musicals? As You Like It plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 26 September to 7 November.
