Bill Murray attended the Broadway adaptation of his 1993 comedy classic Groundhog Day Tuesday night, with the actor reportedly moved to tears by the new musical.
New York Times documented Murray’s visit to the August Wilson Theater to see the musical for the first time. Throughout the evening, Murray was gracious with awestruck attendees, posing for selfies, leaving the bartending staff generous tips and even offering two young kids some of his Junior Mints.
Following the performance, Murray was asked why the musical, and the film, resonated so much. “The idea that we just have to try again. We just have to try again,” Murray said. “It’s such a beautiful, powerful idea.”
One of your favorite all time movies and mine as well. I’m not normally into musicals and this may not be my thing either but if Bill Murray was moved to tears I at least have to give it my approval. Somebody go and tell me if it’s any good.
