A note from Wild Card host Rachel Martin: When I was growing up my parents talked a lot about purpose. They wanted my siblings and me to find careers that were satisfying but really they wanted us to find our purpose — the thing we were put in the world to do. And that’s the idea that came into my head when I was thinking about how to introduce Jonathan Groff. Because yes, he’s a mega talent with a long list of Broadway credits including “Spring Awakening” and “Hamilton.” He won a Tony award for his role in “Merrily We Roll Along” and now he’s nominated for another Tony for his new musical about singer Bobby Darin called “Just in Time.”
