Broadway star-turned-Disney-prince Jonathan Groff will sing at Ravinia this weekend. The entertainer, who has starred in the Tony-winning “Spring Awakening” and on TV’s “Glee” is celebrating the strong box office showing of “Frozen.” Groff is celebrating the important No. 2 place “Frozen” snared over the Thanksgiving weekend — going up against “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” juggernaut.

He will make his Ravinia debut Saturday — with two back-to-back concerts in the Highland Park venue’s Bennett Gordon Hall.
