Description:

Seeking young performers for "Groundhog Day: The Musical." See the details below. About the project: What if you were stuck living the same day over and over again? Meet Phil Connors, a cynical big-city TV weatherman sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities in small-town Punxsutawney. After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it's February 2 once more. When he finds himself trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day endlessly, Phil must navigate his way through hilarity, self-discovery, and maybe even love. Inspired by the hilarious film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day the Musical features a book by original co-screenwriter Danny Rubin, and music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Tim Minchin (Matilda the Musical). Join us for a rollicking mix of laugh-out-loud comedy and uplifting redemption. It’s a reminder that every day is a chance to change your life—and maybe the world around you.

An accompanist will be available so please provide your own sheet music in the correct key. cappella auditions are strongly discouraged.
