Andy Karl will return to the role of Phil Connors in the musical Groundhog Day for a 12-week engagement at London's Old Vic, May 20-August 12.
The Tim Minchin-Danny Rubin musical originated at the Old Vic in 2016 with Karl as Phil. He won an Olivier Award for his performance, and earned a Tony nomination for the Broadway run that followed in 2017.
The Old Vic revival will feature original creative team members Matthew Warchus (director), Lizzi Gee (choreography), Rob Howell (sets and costumes), Hugh Vanstone (lighting), Simon Baker (sound), Andrzej Goulding (video), Paul Kieve (illusions), and Christopher Nightingale (musical supervision, orchestrations, and additional music). Alan Berry is musical director.
The original London run of Groundhog Day earned seven WhatsOnStage Award nominations and eight Olivier Award nominations – winning two for Best New Musical and Best Actor in a Leading Role in Musical.
