NEW YORK (AP) — If it sometimes seems like Groundhog Day on Broadway, it definitely will soon — “Groundhog Day” the musical is coming.
The tale of an arrogant weather forecaster forced to live the same day over and over again is slated to arrive in 2017. It’s being adapted by the four creators of the hit “Matilda the Musical.” They are director Matthew Warchus, composer Tim Minchin, choreographer Peter Darling and set and costume design by Rob Howell.
The story will be based on the 1993 film that starred Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliot. The book will be by Danny Rubin, who co-wrote the screenplay with Harold Ramis. The producers are Whistle Pig Productions, Scott Rudin and Columbia Live Stage.
No casting was announced.
Previews will start in January 2017.
