The Groundhog Day musical is a hilarious and heartwarming adaptation of the popular 1993 film.

Based on the book by original co-screenwriter Danny Rubin with music and lyrics by the talented Tim Minchin (known for Matilda the Musical), the show follows the story of Phil Connors, a cynical weatherman trapped in a time loop reliving the same day over and over again - Groundhog Day - in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Initially frustrated and despondent, Phil uses his situation to his advantage for a while. But as the novelty wears off, he grapples with the deeper meaning of his predicament. Through his experiences, Phil has the chance to learn valuable lessons about life, love, and self-improvement. The upbeat music and witty lyrics perfectly capture the film's comedic tone, while also adding a layer of emotional depth.
