A Revised GROUNDHOG DAY is Working its Way Back to London
By: Julie Musbach Oct. 12, 2017
According to the Daily Mail, the clock has yet to stop on GROUNDHOG DAY. The show is currently being revised with hopes for a return to the West End. Director Matthew Warchus says the updated production may feature re-writes of the book by Danny Rubin and new songs by Tim Minchin.
The show has not announced a date for the transfer nor has a West End theatre been lined up. An 18-month National US Tour has been scheduled starting next year.
After 176 performances and 32 previews, Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical Groundhog Day played its final performance at the August Wilson Theatre on September 17th, 2017.
Groundhog Day tells the story of Phil Connors (Andy Karl), a disgruntled big-city weatherman mysteriously stuck in small-town America reliving the same day over and over and over again. But when he gets to know associate TV producer Rita (Barrett Doss), he discovers that a day of second, third and fourth chances just might bring him the promise of a lifetime. It's a classic boy meets girl... boy meets girl... boy meets girl story.
