‘Groundhog Day’ review: Andy Karl’s injury shadows terrific musical
8 / 10
The creative team that deftly balanced the nasty with the comic in 'Matilda' finds at least as much special chemistry in this surreal challenge, a romantic comedy and life lesson that, in the words of one of the characters, 'messes with the space-time continuum.' Tim Minchin's music beguiles with odd phrase lengths and wildly unpredictable, amusing lyrics, while director Matthew Warchus and his first-rate cast take us through the day and its many conflations with a light touch that belies the head-spinning concept and scenic intricacy.
