Groundhog Day (NY) Tickets

This was a great play. It was very creative and funny and the voices were wonderful.

The play was very well done and the effects are funny.

Clever, creative and non stop fun with a stellar cast!

Great, fun stage production. Adam Karl's voice is consistently amazing. Good time!

It was superb ! I was knocked out by the talent & energy of the cast.American audiences are so free & easy, joining in the performance & showing their appreciation without the british inhibitions! Worth every penny but wrap up, it was cool with air conditioning!

We had a great time going to see this play. Sorry that it will be closing soon.

The entire production was exhilarating from the moment it began. Andy Karl and the cast are non stop energy and the set and music amazing. If you have any chance to see a show this week, Groundhog Day should not be missed. So sorry it has to end.

Took our grandson and we all enjoyed. Music is delightful. Story has a message and it's fun finding it. Performances were great. Andy Karl is the consummate stage performer. Seen him before and will watch for him again. Wish the run could have been longer so more people could have enjoyed it as much as we, and those in the audience with us, did.

We took some out of town guests to this Broadway show based on the reviews and were very surprised at the high quality of the performers, music and the story. Very good show. Well worth the effort to see it.

Our whole family loved the musical. The play did a wonderful job of incorporating the best parts of the movie while giving depth to some of the less well-known characters and expanding. The musical was funny and creative. The set wonderful. Andy Karl is fabulous as Phil Connors. All around a fantastic show to see!

People are sometimes dubious of musicals that use movies as source material, and for good reason. (see; Ghost, Rocky, Footloose, Titanic, 9 to 5, etc, etc, etc). Fear not! Movies are sometimes inspiration for some of the great works that come to Broadway, such as The Producers, Hairspray, Rocky Horror Picture Show, & Kinky Boots. Lucky for us, Groundhog Day is in the company if the latter. The plot needs no explanation. Self-centered Pittsburgh weatherman Phil Connors is assigned to cover the annual Punxsutawney Phil shadow sighting event and gets stuck in an unending loop of repeating the same day again and again. It’s a little hard to guess where they are going to go with this for 2+ hours of musical. Here we go.... The scenery really does make an incredible first impression and the set was unbelievably cool from the beginning. The stage has (stay with me here) turntables in turntables in turntables. Jean Valjean himself would have been completely lost on this crazy setup long before he ever discovered poor Fantine on her deathbed. People or objects can be turning clockwise on a smaller turntable while the larger turntable in which it is embedded moves the opposite direction, to really stunning stage effect. That, along with stellar backdrops and sets that are whisked on and off the stage like clockwork, really propels the entire story. The car chase scene is a stagecraft breakthrough and worth the price of admission alone. I have to admit that the first couple of numbers were kind of off-putting to me. They were plastic copies of the movie and felt, frankly, inauthentic. All of the emotions were played 2-dimensional and stiff. Then something rather remarkable happened. The musical pulled away from the familiar movie and began to create and inhabit its own world. With each breakneck repetition of February 2nd, another layer of paint is peeled away. We learn more about Punxsutawney, the events of the day, the people, and Phil. As Phil iterates through loop after loop, he bears witness to deeper levels of meaning and compassion for everything around him. That isn’t to say that he immediately sets off on a self-improvement course. He veers through hedonism and self-destruction long before he finds his personal breakthrough. Isn’t that an interesting allegory? The idea of “a man on a journey” is not new to musical theater. “Pippin”, “Les Mis”, and even this week’s “Dear Evan Hansen” all fit that bill. Somehow this is a bit different. As Phil came back to the same place every morning, regardless of what he did the previous 24 hours, I started to really think about the life on a treadmill and what keeps people there. Most people have wanted to break free from something at some point in their life, whether it be a dead end job, an awful relationship, or addiction, but felt that waking up each morning put them right back where they began. The frustration of being STUCK places an indescribable weight on the soul. In the show, every repetition of the events of the day felt heavier, and the characters felt wearier. That sheen of artificiality that threw me off at first wore off and the internal struggle not only became obvious, it was visceral. Phil veered from his initial confusion, to denial, to desperation, and ultimately to acknowledgement of his situation. Indeed, Phil was stuck. We all possess the key to our own cage. The story goes that all you have to do is click your heels together and wish to go home, and soon all will be righted. Being granted that power does not mean, however, that we know how to wield it. Watching Phil being pushed deeper and deeper into his personal purgatory before he was able to chart a path to salvation was a powerful story in its own right. The fact that he needed to try again and again, and that he needed others to help him find his way add to the metaphor. The only bad news I can offer is that the show is in its final week on Broadway. If you read my notes and thought, “gee, I really should get tickets”, I hope you are in New York. Final performance is Sunday, September 17th.

This is a must see for everyone. You won't be disappointed!

Andy Karl and cast were Amazing. See it before it closes!

The show was clever and the staging was super. The songs were good. I was expecting half priced tickets and it was not clear where to put the discount code and I accidentally pushed "buy" and paid full price and Ticketmaster was NOT helpful.
