BWW WORLD EXCLUSIVE interview: Jonathan on Glee’s Season Finale

May 24, 2011

Check out this interview of Jonathan from Broadway World:

PC: Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” was an amazing vocal performance by you and Lea – the best song of Season Two.

JG: Thank you so, so much. I was so nervous about it because I am such a huge Adele fan. I have been listening to that album non-stop since it first came out. So, when Lea texted me and told me that we were going to be doing that song, I was really excited about it, but, at the same time, I was also pretty freaked out.

PC: Did you know right off the bat you were going to be doing it acapella like that? That’s what makes it so unique.

JG: No, I didn’t. I didn’t. We knew that, like, just before we were going into the studio to record it. It’s actually John Legend’s version, that he did.

PC: No way! Are you a Legend fan?

JG: Oh, yeah – but, I didn’t know that he had done a version of it until we got that recording of it.

PC: It makes a sort of relationship triptych with you and Lea – “Hello” to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” to “Rolling In The Deep”. All great duets – building, dissolving, then breaking up.

JG: Oh, you’re making my day! I loved doing all of those so much. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

PC: Have you gotten good feedback from the fans on “Rolling In the Deep”, as well? It’s a big YouTube and iTunes hit.

JG: Amazing, right? Yeah, I got some really nice e-mails and some really nice phone-calls, so that was really, really cool.

PC: Could you please give me a few words on some of your GLEE co-stars – particularly these three who have done this column?

JG: Sure!

PC: Kristin Chenoweth.

JG: I love Kristin Chenoweth. I mean, she was so amazing on GLEE and I actually went to go see her in WICKED when I was in high school – I got her and Idina’s autographs, actually. (Laughs.) I even went to the stage door – I was such a huge, huge fan.

PC: Idina Menzel was the next one on my list, actually!

JG: Oh, it was so, so exciting to get to work with both of them on the show. They were so nice and so hardworking. I mean, Kristin was like improving and knew all of her lines for the whole episode – she’s just a total pro and I am just blown away with her.
