[oliviadesalvo]

AW

[avagke]

he is so cute *-*

[simonbenjinewport35]

@missnugget0530 You should have hooked that up! He's so beautiful. I am so jealous :) (I'm a chick btw lol)

[deenise9]

Jonathan Groff's face just killed me ♥

[missnugget0530]

He went to my high school! He came back to talk to our drama class and he's really like the nicest person. He actually offered to give me a ride home after hahah such a cute speech :)

[lauramargerie]

truly truly truly heaven must feel like this.

[wasabyMICH]

aaaaaaaawwwwwww babyyyyyyyyyyy

[NIKEsweet476]

NEIL PERRY!!

[xNatalie24x]

I doubt I ve seen most of the other acting performances but i feel that even if i had, I would think John Gallagher jnr absolutely 100% deserved this award. Lea Michelle and jonathon were brilliant but John was the stand out. He was brilliant.

[Yodelhey]

Brilliant speech. So deserving.

How have I watched this a dozen times and only just realised Robert Sean Leonard presented it! So happy right now!

[wickedboyike2]

IM FREINDS WITH HIM ON FACEBOOK !!!!!!!

[uniquevariety]

Oh Lord, now that is how to do a speech. He's so amazing. <3

[eisnergurlzz58]

did she just say "mer-itz"....no. NO.

[doctorwhogirl77]

"I wanna say 'Happy Birthday' to my friend Seth."

Oh god, I love you, John. No one deserved the award more than you did :]]

[dancergirl4521]

@ninjawizardgleek15 LUCKY!!!!

[DarkShadow0013]

SO WELL DESERVED. this musical is by far one of the best ones broadway has ever had to offer. so sad it only lasted two years but what an amaaazing two years it was! :)

[Sonofapupululu]

i love how he doesn't hold up the trophy in pride but instead uses it hold to his speech...that boy is precious :)

[mehatyr]

awww he really deserved it. I wish this was still playing. lol though he sounds like he's trying hard not to weep and Jon looks like a proud mother/boyfriend <3

[poppypates]

THIS is what I call a speech ♥

[SparkleFairy162]

haha never seen this no doubt he deserved it but why did he look so shocked that he'd won when vanessa barely announced his name he was already on his feet lmao

[TickleMeElmo55]

The Tony Awards are way better then the Academy Awards. Less pompous, self-congratulatory atmosphere. People with actual talent are rewarded unlike Hollywood.

[Sophieste163]

ohmygod johnny, you perfect human being <3

[SilentPenumbra]

All eleven times I've seen Spring Awakening I've thought of this speech when Mortiz says "Truly, truly, heaven must feel like this"...... wow.... hahaha

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

And for the record John has not became a "total diva" that's complete bull shit he is still the sweetest guy ever he didn't come out after american idiot because he would fall asleep between shows that boy was tired

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

I love his hair with and without hair spray and I also love his hugs he gives the best hugs ever

[Janetta92993]

I want him in my pants.

[JackieBorelli]

he was so incredible! truly deserved the tony. =)

[naomilygirl]

Jon Groff looks so happy at :42 oh my god :'3

[taylor96x3]

aw hes so adorable <3 gotta love him!

[lyndes33]

I love how his hair without all of the hairspray is just a bowl cut... it's so adorable.

[PooopandNoodles]

mor-ITZ.

damn commentator puts emphasis on the wrong syllable.

[TheSimpsonsFanGirl]

awww he sounds like he's either gonna hyperventilate or cry! he's such an amazing actor/singer!

[csander1]

@Sophiaxxdarling yes it was based on a PLAY, not based on a musical. so, it is original as a musical.

[avarix98]

so much love for him.

[xoswiim4liifexo]

he is so adorable<3

i love when he quotes spring awakening and gives a shout out to his friend seth(: so cute!

[jadem1122]

"heaven must feel like this"

omg EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

That just made me luv him mooore!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

[broadwaygirl121]

oh yea i got his autogragh in Americcan Idiot he is such a sweet heart!

[Sophiaxxdarling]

its not an original musical?

haha its based of the 1800s german play, Spring Awakening..

but awh he totalllly deserved this!!

[gailizcool]

awww look how excited jon groff is for him at 0:42!! so sweet >.<

john totally deserved this! his version of moritz is so incredibly amazing :D

[toughcookie5454]

HE SERIOUSLY DESERVED THIS. IT SHOULD NOT BE QUESTIONED IF HE DESERVED THIS OR NOT.

[ChainsawVsGod]

Aww. I was searching for John Gallagher, as in the lead guitarist and vocalist of Dying Fetus.

[SOMMPAproductions]

@ChainsawVsGod "Dying Fetus" now that is definietly an interesting name...

[embracetheflame]

he is so cute wwhen he gets all emotional and starts talking reallllllllllllllly fast...

[AliaSparrow]

THIS is the guy who should have played Finn Hudson on Glee. Don't get me wrong, Cory Moneith improved his voice and I have no problems with welcoming non-professionals (hey, Colfer and McHale proved themselves), but I think we would have been wonderful to portray this pressured kid.

[lemonbutterslice]

@AliaSparrow I agree. But I can't imagine John as a jock!

[WeirdAndProudAboutIt]

@AliaSparrow I respectfully disagree. I absolutely cannot stand the character of Finn, and after what Glee has done to the characters of Jesse and Rachel I've always been incredibly grateful that John, at least, wasn't affected by it. Plus to see a pairing of the people I'll always see as Wendla and Moritz to some extent would scare and scar me terribly.

[xljackson]

@WeirdAndProudAboutIt Could not agree more! The idea of Wendla and Moritz is just scary.

[Chibbykins]

@xljackson

True dat :)

[gracesbracesarefit]

@AliaSparrow i love john but he would have ruined what he is as an actor by playing finn. he is too individual and internal to play him. plus finn is a football captain, and part of the charm of john is that he isnt that build.

[GoneRampant]

@AliaSparrow I can so see that. Probably would have been awesome.

[lauramargerie]

@AliaSparrow You know they did an interview once, asking him when he was going to do Glee - he respectivly said he never would, it's not his style. And really, I think he is better than Glee (not that it's a terrible show). He's a rock star, and pop songs don't really suit him.

[itsjustmusic4]

truly truly truly truly truly heaven must feel like this

[cabronaymamow]

Aww He's so precious!

[luvduv2]

he didn't realize the whole "happy birthday" thing was was funny until everybody laughed. i love johnnyyy :)

[TheArtisticNuisance]

D'awww, he is so adorable in this clip =)

No other actor will be able to play Mortiz the way JGJ did, he is amazing <3

[cazia9]

i think john's speech was all one sentence :P

[TaylorSwifttFann]

awww JONATHON GROFF :40

[xTheUndeadAvengedx]

aww man, he's too cute :]

[BlackTwilight16]

i met him (: he gave me a hug and spent like 20 minutes backstage of the american idiot theater talking to mee :DD

[angelamarizze]

we all love him,, right ?!

[katels07]

No one deserved this more than he did and there will NEVER be another Moritz like him ... he owns that character, anyone else portraying Moritz has huge shoes to fill!

[cazia9]

i think his thank-yous all came out in one sentence :P

[EchoSinger]

he was so cute back then (:

[angelamarizze]

@EchoSinger why ?! he's still so cute .. :)

[EchoSinger]

@angelamarizze now he's hot, not cute... xD

he was a cute and excited young men (:

[angelamarizze]

@EchoSinger oh hell yeah ! he's totally hot .. and amazing .. xD

[palepinkie28]

I love how he says "without yooou" at 0:53 idk why it just sounds cute :P I love him. He's adorable when he's excited/nervous

And I've commented on this video 3 times now. So I'm gonna go.

John Gallagher Jr. I love you.

K bye.

[EchoSinger]

ahah he was so excited! ^^

[unfabulous386]

I love him. (:

[palepinkie28]

oh god... i love him.

[7supergirl]

This makes me want to cry! John is so so so sweet. :) I'm so happy for him!

[sdrhead]

He talked so fast during his whole speech! He seemed like he was almost in character while he was up at the podium! Lol

[SaviFilms]

this is so cool :) He's amazing!

[Lisabear33]

he looks like my cousin !

[DjSkaterBeatz]

too bad that this made him become a total diva :/

[lemonbutterslice]

@DjSkaterBeatz ...eh?

[ImNotThere100]

@DjSkaterBeatz what? how on earth did it make him a diva? what nonsense.

[palepinkie28]

@DjSkaterBeatz he's a diva now?? :/

[froface98]

oh god. i'm in love. again.

[XilikeyourfaceX]

question: did the spring awakening cast have their performance before or after john won?

[lemonbutterslice]

@XilikeyourfaceX After, I think :)

[XilikeyourfaceX]

@lemonbutterslice yeah looking back i think that makes sense. he was rather chipper during bitch of living haha

[mshee20]

best speech ever. love him.

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

I love him so much! He was going really fast! I was hardly able to keep up! That's gotta be a rush though! Being up on that stage giving your thank you speech for a Tony Award!

[paperfl0wers]

I love Spring Awakening and American Idiot!

[floritka85]

Does anyone have Jonathan Groff's win? I woudl love to see it! :))

[lyndes33]

@floritka85 sorry, but jon didn't end up winning best actor

[floritka85]

@lyndes33 I know, I just found that out right after I posed that comment. :( I thought he did, but he just got a nom. :( I'm sure he'll get one eventually :)

[toughcookie5454]

SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY DESERVED THIS AWARD. HE IS PHENOMENAL AND I KNOW HE WILL BE AROUND FOR YEARS AND YEARS!!!!

[lyndes33]

It's okay johnny, you can cry.....

[gailizcool]

@bearofthekooky yeah :)

[TheFudgeBounce]

Thats so funny, his words are so jumbbled together, and in the mix of it all "I want to say 'happy birthday' to my friend Seth."

I dont think he knows how funny that was. :D

[nicki446]

well, if he hadn't won, I would have written a very very angry letter to the 'Tony voters'.

[TRASHYgah]

He is so freakin adorable, dorky, sexy, cute, amazing, talented. All at the same time.

(Infactuated? ) :D

[taylor96x3]

@TRASHYgah haha i cannot agree with you more :D

[TRASHYgah]

@taylor96x3 :) I'm such a dork i know :D

[taylor96x3]

@TRASHYgah haha so am i dont worry :)

[m0m057]

oh my word i think he wants to cry . . .

[ImNotThere100]

Hands down one of the classiest speeches i've ever seen (and trust me, i've subjected myself to plenty)

[prettyoddftw]

He's hotter on Brodway :D

[hlfx925]

he puts so much passion into his performance. this award hardly begins to congratulate him for his talents.

[piickled]

Please marry me, John Gallagher Jr.

[mookamaytom2]

hes so cutee !!! love him

[snowleopardbabii]

can i pretty please have my own john? please?

[piickled]

John Gallagher Jr., MARRY ME PLEASE! I love him so much!

[gailizcool]

He is so adorable  :D

can i have him?

[Sophieste163]

awwww "heaven must feel like this" :D JGJ you are amazing :)

[1689jess]

"heaven must feel like this" .. .. love him! he's sooooo adorable!

[notyouraveragething]

he is so adorable! he deserved it!!!

[heartsnsmileys687]

there will never be a moritz nearly as good as john.

[AmandaSS18]

@heartsnsmileys687 Sorry, but there was an AMAZING brazilian one. And he also won an award for his performance ;)

[trumpetchick413]

<3

he definitely deserved it.

[HaModel]

awesome.

[taylor96x3]

i absolutely love him and he deserved the award<3

[Tyanes17]

Robert Sean Leonard!! Love him!!

[latinapeacechick]

SO SWEET! Heaven must feel like this...

[TheMintyMuffin]

I am new to SA but I am already kind of falling for his character. He's so fucking WEIRD! I love that. Well deserved award...

[Spiffet]

he seems so nervous, it's so endearing. :]

[thishatandyou]

OMG was that TAYE DIGGS at the end?! If so, I just freaked out like a bitch! If not...I look stupid! But still...

AGHHHH!!!!

[goodyougetastar]

@thishatandyou I don't think it was... :))

[broadwaytwilighter22]

@thishatandyou

Unfortunately, no, that wasn't Taye Diggs.

But fortunately, it was Bill T. Jones, the choreographer for SA!

[suburiboy]

"heaven must feel like this."

I love Gallagher and love Moritz.

Watching Spring awakening is like reading "catcher in the rye"

I Am Holden Caulfield and I Am Moritz. This is what it is like to be a teen.

[ChristyG42]

@suburiboy i didn't like catcher in the rye. it really didn't draw me in... what made it so amazing to you? just curious. not judging. i wanna know :)

[suburiboy]

@ChristyG42 Well, I guess it is because i can relate to Holden (and Moritz). I instantly gravitate to Holden, because every thing he does, I see in myself. The out-dated slang, the strange vocal affectations. I really do. Both stories are about self discovery, finding your own identity. As a teen male, this resonates with me profoundly. And I've been have girl problems recently :P.

(moritz+ilsa)=(holden+jane)

[ChristyG42]

@suburiboy :) thanks for your explanation. sorry to hear of your girl problems. hope they work out. :)

[mmmchingawa]

I ADORE THIS MAN!!!!!! :D

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

I got To meet this wonderful hot actor and hug him multiple times

[nicki446]

he deserved it SO MUCH! incredible in the show.

[PessimisticOptimist2]

I kind of want to glomp him.

[TheKsutt100]

I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!

[BroadwayBaby1980]

He is so amazing and cute! Spring Awakening died alittle when he left. American Idiot The Musical wouldnt have been as great without him.

[xojoannaax3]

he's such a cutie <3

[beautifuldayx0]

Love him. Moritz was the best character.

[TheSabresfan86]

SOOOO weird...and almost creepy that RSL presented him with this award! Moritz and Neil Perry from DPS had a lot in common...and their stories ended in the same way.

[AtomicToeprint]

hes so nervous!! cute!!!!!!!!

[PessimisticOptimist2]

He's so cute :33

[krispykritterlover]

I love him. How dare they start playing the "get off the stage" music before he's done! LOL. Anyway, he is such a sweetie. I saw him in American Idiot, and met him afterwards. He is so genuine, and he really talks with you as long as you want! He said American Idiot was a lot more difficult than Spring Awakening. And I TOTALLY believe him. He does SO MUCH in that show. He really is one of my 3 idols (him, Lea, and Jon)

[potterobsessedx10]

this video never gets old. still gives me chills. <3 Johnny

[MAGSANDGEORGEWEASLEY]

This gave me goosebumps, to bad the lady didn't even pronounce "Moritz" right.,

[notfifi]

muh-RITZ...?!?

wtffff the voiceover lady's pronunciation makes me die.

[takeit10]

actually, even the Broadway pronunciation of the names are kinda incorrect. Specially Melchior's... you have to say something like "Melrrrior"

[dolphinofdespair]

Aww ...

What a coincidence that Robert Sean Leonard presented this award. Not very hard to link Spring Awakening to Dead Poets Society, is it ?  :-)

[takeit10]

well.. never thought of that...

it really makes sense

[dolphinofdespair]

Not that the one has anything to do with the other of course :-)

[LOOKatTHEpiglets]

Is it embarrassing to say that I was really excited to see Robert Sean Leonard and JGJ in such close proximity together because, well... I thought to myself "too much hot talent in one spot"?

[krispykritterlover]

Aww! Jon Groff looks so happy for him!

[hannahkathleeny]

hahah moe-ritz.

he is today, he is tomorrow, he is the future and the now of music.

[irenek518]

aww john gallagher jr is so awesome!

[vrose90]

Aw, he's just so amazing. And he sounded so truly happy!

[Marold101]

That was probably the most well organized speech I've ever heard. It was great too, ahhh I love him.

[allstars617]

dumbass announcer cant pronounce mortiz right....

[Elphie31]

ummm its spelled "Moritz"...

[allstars617]

oops?

[caraelisee]

@allstars617 Dumbass commenter can't spell "Moritz" right :)

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

@allstars617 no american can REALLY pronounce Moritz! i was always laughing about americans pronouncing german names!

[jGjLove32]

JGJ is so adorable! you can tell that he's a real, down-to-earth, geniuine, person.

[bwaygurl105]

His speech was amazing.

Then again, JGJ is pretty amazing, so I shouldn't have been so suprised.

[nichic96]

If I just get some *john gallager jr.* then you can screw 'em all!

[HSMxFREEK3]

adorable- what a perfect perfect speech for a perfect person

[goshchristine]

john gallagher jr, you make my heart melt.

[kathleenxxo]

one of the best acceptance speeches. :)

[dreaming92]

mor-ITZ?

i think not, silly tony announcer lady.

[lynnemilee]

ahaha, deaming92, you're cool :)

[physicstinmypants]

John Gallagher Jr. is OFFICIALLY my lover.

[ILuvSpringAwakening1]

no mine!!!

[tnks4thevenom]

oh dear lord he is precious. amazing man of talent. :)

[Musiclover6803]

haha what a great acceptance speech

[xBrendonUriesGirlx]

It's like just kiss some ass man

[AdorablyRandom]

then you can screw them all...
