Dream Casting: Groundhog Day
With yesterday's news that Matthew Warchus' first season at the Old Vic will feature Tim Minchin's stage adaptation of Groundhog Day, we consider our dream line up.
Phil – Neil Patrick Harris or Hadley Fraser
NPH needs a bit of a pick-me-up following Oscarsgate and what a perfect role for him to make his London stage debut. But equally we'd love to see Hadley in this role, especially considering our choice for Rita…
Rita – Rosalie Craig
Following knockout performances in City of Angels and The Light Princess, Rosalie gets the nod from us for newsreader Rita Hanson.
Ned – Simon Lipkin
Can we get Ned a puppet?
Larry – Jason Pennycooke
We can't help but fantasise about a show-stopping moment when otherwise deadpan cameraman Larry breaks out into an epic tap dance routine in order to woo Nancy. Who better for this than the Olivier-nominated Pennycooke?
Buster – Christopher Biggins
From Dame Widow Twankey to Mayor Buster Green.
