GWB Entertainment: Groundhog Day the Musical
27 March @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm AEDT
This is your last chance to catch the Australian production of Groundhog Day the Musical, featuring music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. Based on the 1993 film, the brilliantly structured and ingeniously staged musical follows arrogant Pittsburgh TV weatherman Phil Connors as he is forced to keep reliving the same day until he becomes a better man. Reprising the role he played in London and New York, Andy Karl is sensational as Phil, with Elise McCann as his producer Rita.
Limelight Editor’s Choice
Direct from its record-breaking run-in London Groundhog Day the Musical makes its Australian Premiere at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre in January!
Phil Connors, a cynical Pittsburgh TV weatherman is sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Caught in a time loop, he’s forced to relive the same day again and again… and again. As Phil recognises that an infinite loop offers infinite possibilities, is there a lesson being learned and will he ever figure out the secret to break the cycle?
From the award-winning minds of Tim Minchin, Danny Rubin and Matthew Warchus, this brilliant new production based on the classic movie will play exclusively in Melbourne. Don’t miss your chance to experience the heartfelt and hilarious musical Broadway World have called “a theatrical triumph”.
