Groundhog Day follows TV weather man Phil, who reluctantly goes to cover the story of Punxsutawney Phil for the third year in a row. Making no effort to hide his frustration, he covers the story and moves on, expecting his job to be finished. However, he awakes the "following" day and discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and the fun happens again and again and again. He soon realizes he must take advantage of it in order to secure the love of a coworker.
In the role that won him the 2017 Olivier, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Award for Best Actor, Andy Karl plays Phil Connors—a disgruntled big-city weatherman mysteriously stuck in small-town America reliving the same day over and over and over again—with no consequences, no regrets, no tomorrows, and no hangovers. But once he starts getting to know associate TV producer Rita Hanson, he discovers it’s a day of second, third and fourth chances.
Based on the iconic film, Groundhog Day is the new Broadway hit that Entertainment Weekly calls, “a wonderfully inventive show, with dazzling energy, creativity, wit, and heart.” And NY1 says, “This is a Groundhog Day to celebrate! With Danny Rubin’s wryly humorous book, Matthew Warchus’ inventive direction, and Tim Minchin’s clever songs, the forecast for this Groundhog Day looks pretty bright!”
