Just yesterday, New Dramatists, Tony® Honor recipient and the nation's premier playwright development laboratory, honored 10-time Tony Award®-winning producer Daryl Roth and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel with their 2017 Outstanding Career Achievement Awards at its 68th Annual Spring Luncheon tribute.

A musical adaptation of 1993's Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray and written by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis may not seem like the most plumb choice for Broadway. However, the show's score and lyrics by Tim Minchin will make audiences reconsider any doubts they may have had.

Three-time Tony nominee and star of Broadway's GROUNDHOG DAY, Andy Karl, stopped by last night's LATE SHOW on CBS and proved he is a shining example of the adage, 'the show must go on.'

The Theatre World Awards Board of Directors (Dale Badway, President), and The Dorothy Loudon Foundation (Lionel Larner, Executive Director), have announced the 2017 Theatre World Award Honorees for Outstanding Broadway or Off-Broadway Debut Performance, the 9th Annual Dorothy Loudon Award Honoree for Excellence in the Theater and the 5th Annual John Willis Award Honoree for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre who will be celebrated at the 73rd Annual Theatre World Awards Ceremony on Monday evening, June 5, 2017 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at The Imperial Theatre (249 West 45th Street), current home of The Great Comet, recipient of 12 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical.

BWW has learned that three-time Tony Award nominee Andy Karl, who recently won the Olivier and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his performance in GROUNDHOG DAY, will make his late-night guest debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”

In 1957, Meredith Willson wagered he could get Broadway audiences to cheer for THE MUSIC MAN's serial swindler who cheats nice people out of their hard-earned money and harasses the leading lady on the street and at her workplace while lying his way into her arms. Fortunately for him, the handsome and charming Robert Preston seduced audiences as well as Professor Harold Hill seduced early 20th Century Iowans.

Andy Karl and the cast of the new Broadway musical GROUNDHOG DAY stopped by NBC's today as part of the morning show's 'Best of Broadway Week.' Below, watch the cast perform the high-energy number 'Philanthropy' from the hit musical!

Ready to get back in the action, Karl will perform at the Tuesday-Saturday evening and Sunday matinee performances of Groundhog Day this week.
