Some important content here that has been bothering me since 2017, when I got the start time of Groundhog Day wrong and ended up in the theater super early:

Before the show, we see the news screens on stage cycle through Phil giving different forecasts, including the infamous "flood story", plus a story about local apples.

Which brings us to this gem.

What in the name of global warming is happening to the weather in Pittsburgh???

No wonder Phil got trapped in a time loop, if he's living in a universe where Pittsburgh is 35 degrees AT THE SAME TIME THAT NEARBY CITIES ARE IN 110 DEGREES PLUS WEATHER.

(For the record, this picture was taken in 2023 in London, but the exact same thing happened in 2017 on Broadway).

Which version of this do you prefer?

Further notes:

The musical is available for licensing, though restrictions apply in some countries. There is also a full cast recording, and there is a bootleg video of the Broadway production still up on YouTube

This Groundhog Day, never forget that the time loop canonically drove Phil Connors to bisexuality

alright then

So I made a playlist of songs from musicals that make me cry (because I guess I like torturing myself) which led me to relistening to some songs from ghd for the first time in a while and... I'm sorry, who gave Seeing You the right to be that emotional??? Like genuinely the first couple of weeks after I saw Groundhog Day I would literally start crying just from thinking about it
