Jonathan Groff Comments On The Rumor That Lea Michele Can’t Read In Funny Interview

Buy Me A Coffee

Jonathan Groff, Tony-winner extraordinaire and bestie to Lea Michele, found himself smack dab in the middle of a podcast interrogation โ€” Tactful Pettiness with Cody Rigsby and Andrew Chappelle. And what did they want to know? Whether Lea Michele, Broadway darling, is… illiterate. Yup. You read that right (unlike Lea, apparently?).

Cody and Andrew went right for the jugular: “So, Jonathan, spill the tea โ€” can Lea read, or nah?”

Groff, likely clutching his pearls metaphorically (or literally, who knows), immediately burst out:
โ€œIโ€™ve SEEN her read! Oh my God, do people really believe she canโ€™t? How does a rumor like that even start?! Itโ€™s insane!โ€

Not ones to miss a beat, the hosts prodded further: โ€œOkay, but like, have you specifically seen her read sheet music in rehearsals?โ€

Jonathanโ€™s hilarious response? โ€œNow thatโ€™s a great example. Nope, she didnโ€™t show up off-book!โ€ Cue dramatic gasp.

But he wasnโ€™t done. Groff wrapped things up with:
โ€œListen, weโ€™re officially ending this nonsense here and now. Itโ€™s too funny, but seriously, let it be knownโ€”Lea can read. The rumor dies today.โ€

For those keeping track of the timeline, Lea Michele has been in on the joke for years. Back when she was starring in Funny Girl on Broadway, she embraced the meme like a champโ€”proving that if thereโ€™s one thing she can read, itโ€™s the room.
