Groundhog Day, the new musical by Matilda lyricist Tim Minchin, is a new musical based on his 1993 hit film Groundhog Day. Previews have now begun at the Old Vic Theatre and these production images have just been released and are hot off the press!
Groundhog Day is the story of Phil Connors (Andy Karl), a cynical Pittsburgh TV weatherman who is sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in the isolated small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, when he finds himself caught in a time loop, forced to repeat the same day again and again…and again. As each day plays out exactly the same as before, Phil becomes increasingly despondent, but is there a lesson to be learnt through his experiences, will he ever unlock the secret and break the cycle?
GROUNDHOG DAY is playing at the Old Vic Theatre until 17 September 2016. Tickets
