Times may be hard, but there is still joy to be found, even after a long week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of emotional release. Welcome to Playbill's Feel Good Friday feature.
Congratulations are in order for Tony-winning Merrily We Roll Along star Lindsay Mendez and fellow actor J. Alex Brinson, who tied the knot in a beautiful New York City wedding ceremony April 22. Mendez's Merrily We Roll Along co-stars "Old Friends" Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe were both on hand to celebrate the special day.
And we've got the photos to prove it, taken by Playbill's own Heather Gershonowitz. The ceremony occurred in the Arcade beneath Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, with the reception at the Lambs Club.
Yes, it looks like Mendez, Radcliffe, and Groff aren't just pretending to be palsy onstage at the Hudson (home to the starry Sondheim revival). Radcliffe (who showed up to the proceedings wearing a baseball cap in an attempt to be incognito) reportedly served as the wedding's ring bearer.
Mendez's daughter, Lucy, was the flower girl. Groff officiated.
Mendez, a Tony winner for her performance in 2018's Carousel, met Brinson working on All Rise, OWN's courtroom procedural that starred both actors. And more happiness is on the way—earlier this year, the couple revealed they are expecting.
Playbill sends all our love and well wishes to Broadway and Hollywood's newest power couple!
