Photo: Disney+ Hamilton has been so thoroughly discussed and picked apart ever since it first premiered at the Public Theater that it’s really nice that the Disney+ version brings a new detail of the show to the center of the conversation — that it highlights those aspects you can behold most clearly when film and theater collide. We’re talking, of course, about the close-ups of Jonathan Groff’s King George spit.
For those who might only know him from his TV career, Jonathan Groff is a famous stage spitter, so much so that Vulture has been on this story since 2009. When he sashays into the center stage as King George III in the filmed version of Hamilton, it’s impossible not to notice, for instance, this moment in “You’ll Be Back”:
As Vulture’s Helen Shaw put it in her review, “Jonathan Groff is one of those performers I think is a genius, but I actually would like to be back in row seven watching him — because he … is a moist actor. He’s a spitter!” Luckily it works for the tenor of the show and his character.
