Ryan Reynolds is giving Jonathan Groff quite the send-off.

If you didn’t know, the 41-year-old actor played his final performance in Just in Time on Broadway on Sunday night (March 29) in New York City.

As part of the fun, the cast also spanked the actor for every $5,000 that was raised, meaning he got five spankings for Ryan‘s donation. Watch fan footage from the crowd of the fun moment!

Matthew Morrison will begin a strictly limited 3-week engagement as Bobby Darin next, and Jeremy Jordan will then perform as Bobby Darin starting Tuesday, April 21.
