Description
Tim Minchin has written the music and lyrics for Groundhog Day the Musical, which is coming to Australia following runs on Broadway and the West End.  In the 1993 film, Bill Murray plays a TV weatherman, Phil Connors, who finds himself living the same day over and over. But with each repeated day, Phil learns a little more about himself and the people around him. Who better to wrestle with these existential themes in musical form than the always philosophical Tim Minchin?
