What if you were stuck living the same day over and over again? Meet Phil Connors, a cynical big-city TV weatherman sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities in small-town Punxsutawney. After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it's February 2 once more. When he finds himself trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day endlessly, Phil must navigate his way through hilarity, self-discovery, and maybe even love.
Inspired by the hilarious film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day the Musical features a book by original co-screenwriter Danny Rubin, and music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Tim Minchin (Matilda the Musical). Join us for a rollicking mix of laugh-out-loud comedy and uplifting redemption. It’s a reminder that every day is a chance to change your life—and maybe the world around you.
Runtime is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including Intermission.
Contains mature content.
Please Note:
This play is not the movie. It has been fleshed out to portray deeper relationships, themes and messages. It is a slice of life – funny, heartbreaking, edgy, happy and sad as it may be. This musical contains mature themes, language, and actions, making it generally unsuitable for younger children (sexual innuendo, strong language/expletives and the satirical portrayal of suicide attempts in a musical sequence). However, the authors have carefully crafted a script within which every moment serves a deeper narrative purpose. Come with us on a journey of discovery, purpose and life as we experience Groundhog Day.
