The Broadway dreams of the trio of pals at the heart of Merrily We Roll Along jumped off of the stage and into reality this week as the show scooped up an armful of 2024 Tony Awards!
The acclaimed revival took its first bows following its Tony triumph tonight and to celebrate, the audience stopped the show at the mention of the illustrious honor during the number, "It's A Hit!"
The extended applause brought star, newly-minted Tony-winner Jonathan Groff to tears as he shared his prop representing the Tony to each of his cast mates to share in their collective success.
