The world premiere of Groundhog Day a new musical directed by Old Vic Artistic Director Matthew Warchus.. Groundhog Day is the story of Phil Connors (Andy Karl), 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 Groundhog Day.

He has already covered the story four times before, and he's sick to death of it. But this time is different. Horribly different. The musical was revived at The Old Vic in London with Karl reprising the role of Phil Connors with previews beginning on 20 May 2023, with a press night on 8 June running for a limited run until 12 August 2023.
