Groundhog Day Musical Closer to Reality
I'm usually skeptical of pop culture musical adaptations (wretched Off-Broadway productions of Karate Kid and The Last Starfighter will do that to you). The upcoming Spider-Man and Bruce Lee shows are already raising my hackles, U2 and David Henry Hwang's involvements be damned.
The only bit of hope I have left for the Groundhog Day musical in the works, apart from someone other than Andie McDowell in the female lead, is that Stephen Sondheim has expressed interest on writing the music/lyrics in the past. That bit of news comes from screenwriter/director Harold Ramis himself.
Now if only they could recruit Bill Murray to reprise his role, even if he pulls a Rex Harrison and talk-sings his way through it, I'll be lining up in Times Square with the rest of the tourists.
