Groundhog Day at the Old Vic, London
May 20 @ 6:00 pm - August 12 @ 11:00 pm
Andy Karl reprises his Olivier Award-winning performance as weatherman Phil Connors in the zany musical, Groundhog Day, which opens at the Old Vic, London on 20 May.
With music written by Australian comedian Tim Minchin, the stage production is based on the 1993 film of the same name. Both feature a script by Danny Rubin. The musical follows Phil Connors, a television weatherman who reassures viewers on 1 February that a blizzard will not hit western Pennsylvania. That same evening, he’s sent on an assignment and begrudgingly travels to Punxsutawney, a small town 90 minutes outside of Pittsburgh, to cover the “Groundhog Day” festivities.
Andy Karl reprises the role of Phil Connors for Groundhog Day in 2023. The Broadway actor first played the role in 2016, and again for the Broadway transfer, picking up an Olivier Award and a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Musical.
