Groundhog Day

When the grumpy, arrogant and cynical Pittsburg TV weather man Phil is sent to a remote Pennsylvania town to report on an animal that apparently forecasts the weather, he makes the journey reluctantly. He has already covered the story four times before, and he's sick to death of it. But this time is different. Horribly different. He wakes up the day after the event to discover it's Groundhog Day all over again, and again, and again... and eventually realises he will never escape unless he makes big changes to his attitude.

The respected British Director and dramatist Matthew Warchus is at the helm for his inaugural season at the The Old Vic, and this is the world premiere of the brand new musical. Composer and lyricist Tim Minchin, choreographer Peter Darling and designer Rob Howel, all involved with the hilarious international theatre success Matilda The Musical, are collaborating with writer Danny Rubin to create the stage version of a story that has never lost its powerful appeal. If you love nothing better than having your funny bone tickled, you'll adore it. Great fun!
