“If any show was tailor-made for repeat viewings, it’s ‘Groundhog Day.’ It’s not just the inspired time-loop premise of Danny Rubin’s tale...but the extraordinary intricacy of both writing and staging, which mean that each encounter with it reveals new wonders. This fresh run proves once again that the production is a timeless triumph.”

“...the production has gone above and beyond to justify its existence - managing to transcend its source material, even going as far as to completely break the mould for musical theatre in general. To say that Danny Rubin’s book takes you on a journey would be an understatement, as the original screenplay has truly been given the space to breathe on stage. Laugh-out-loud comedy and high emotion create the perfect blend of philosophical study and fulfilling evening entertainment.”

"Amid a cast (and mise-en-scène) that operate like clockwork, cheerleader pom-poms should be raised the highest to salute Tanisha Spring’s endearingly puzzled, empathetic and strong-voiced producer Rita (the Andie MacDowell role)...And this playful, profound show is the real deal, too.

“Where the stage version differs most strongly from the film is that Rita isn’t just the girl he loves, but a woman with agency and wisdom, who helps him find humility and reclaim his humanity. That’s what makes ‘Groundhog Day’ such an enjoyable show: it earns its happy ending, which unfolds with grace and a sense of wonder. It is, literally, marvellous.”

“Musical theatre at its best has the ability to make you feel and ‘Groundhog Day’ makes me feel harder than potentially any show has before...Even if you're seeing this for the first time there is something comfortably familiar about ‘Groundhog Day’ that ensures you'll want to see it again and again. This is one experience I would happily repeat on a daily basis.”
