”Groundhog Day” continues performances through September 17.
Groundhog Day star Andy Karl was honored yesterday, August 17, when Tony's di Napoli Restaurant unveiled a painting of his Groundhog Day character Phil Connors for the restaurant's Broadway Wall of Fame. Copies of the painting were signed by Karl to be auctioned off at a future event to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Groundhog Day features a score by Matilda composer Tim Minchin and direction by Matilda's Matthew Warchus, with original screenwriter Danny Rubin providing the book.

Performances continue through September 17 at the August Wilson Theatre.
