— Vulture (@vulture) October 29, 2015Glee and Looking star Jonathan Groff got the thrill of his life when Beyoncé came up to him after his performance as King George III in Hamilton and complimented his character's regally sassy walk. Hamilton's writer, composer, and star Lin-Manuel Miranda told the backstage story through a series of tweets:
Oh yeah that's right. Lemme see if he'll make a video he tells it best. https://t.co/8ne8fPivrp

Groff got embarrassed. But he said I could tell you. Next three tweets.

1)
Beyonce: Did you play the King?
Groffsauce: Yes.
Beyonce: I'm stealing your walk. I love your walk.
Groffsauce: *inarticulate sounds*

2) Beyonce: When you turned away still facing the audience?
*BEYONCE DEMONSTRATES FLAWLESSLY*
Beyonce: You were your OWN turntable. Love it.

3) And then, in Groffsauce's own words
"Then the ground swallowed me up and I died happy."
Thus endeth the meeting of Beyonce & Groffsauce.

There is no straight-male equivalent for the ecstasy of Beyonce telling you
"I love your walk."
ESPECIALLY for Groffsauce, walk enthusiast.

Bruce Lee: "Can you teach me that cool kick?"
That's the closest I can approximate to what happened to Groffsauce.

@Lin_Manuel how large is his personal walk repertoire?

It's RIDICULOUSLY detailed and wide-ranging. He does a killer @Karenolivo walk too. https://t.co/GcNZiE73pE
