This Tuesday, 30th May at 12:30 EDT, Tim’ll be doing a Groundhog Day The Musical themed Facebook Live Q&A!

Tune in to Groundhog Day Musical’s Broadway Facebook Page to watch with your questions ready to put to him. Whether you’ve seen the show or not – ask him anything Groundhoggy!

There will be music and dancing and answers… There may be music, dancing is sadly unlikely (unless someone asks very nicely) but there will be lots of lovely answers.

Some Tim-Zones:
12:30 EDT – New York
09:30 PDT – Los Angeles
17:30 BST – London
02:30 AEST – Melbourne (next day – sorry Australians!)

There are various Time Zone Converters available if you’d like to check when to watch live in your part of the world.

If you miss it live, fear not, you’ll be able to catch-up here later.

Voting is now open for this year’s Theater Fans’ Choice Awards (previously called the Broadway World Awards).

Last month, Tim performed ‘Hope’, a song from Groundhog Day The Musical, at the 2017 Olivier Awards.

Groundhog Day won Best New Musical and Andy Karl won the Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Phil Connors. The ceremony was held at the Royal Albert Hall and screened by ITV.

So, here’s Tim sporting that fetching Friar Tuck beard, backed by some of the cast of the Old Vic production and the BBC Concert Orchestra:
(The backing was for the song not the facial hair).

Did you spot the cute lil groundhog on every page yet? In the tabs ^ up there ^.
