News: Ticket Date for Tim Minchin's Groundhog Day Musical

Tickets for the London run of Groundhog Day, the new musical by Tim Minchin, will go on general sale on Tuesday 12 April at noon.

The show will run at the Old Vic for a strictly limited 10-week season from Monday 11 July – Saturday 17 September 2016 and will be directed by the Old Vic's artistic director, Matthew Warchus.

Andy Karl will play Phil Connors, a cynical Pittsburgh TV weatherman who is sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in the isolated small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, when he finds himself caught in a time loop, forced to repeat the same day again and again…and again. As each day plays out exactly the same as before Phil becomes increasingly despondent, but is there a lesson to be learnt through his experiences, will he ever unlock the secret and break the cycle?

The choreographer is Peter Darling and the designer is Rob Howell, who both worked with Minchin and Warchus on Matilda The Musical. The book is written by Danny Rubin, based on his 1993 hit film.

Priority booking has just opened for Old Vic members. For more ticket information and how to become a member go to the Old Vic website here.
