Groundhog Day
Helsinki City Theatre, 2020
Groundhog Day is a musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Danny Rubin. It is based on the 1993 film of the same name, directed by Harold Ramis and written by Ramis and Rubin.
It tells the story of Phil Connors, an arrogant Pittsburgh TV weatherman who, during an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again.
Simon travelled to Helsinki to choreograph the Finnish Language premiere of this contemporary musical. The show presents a unique challenge by replaying the same events from the same day, with subtle changes in music, timning and persepctive.
Direction by Samuel Harjanne
