Bill Murray‘s crying while watching Groundhog Day in a Broadway theater is the sweetest thing we saw this week. The musical, based on the same-name 1993’s movie starring Murray, premiered in London last summer.
Sopan Deb from New York Times reported on Twitter: “By the time the cast was bowing on stage, Mr. Murray was in tears. He waited a minute to compose himself before joining the rest of the audience to cheer the cast.”
Murray explained what moved him to tears: “The idea that we just have to try again. We just have to try again. It’s such a beautiful, powerful idea.”
This was Bill Murray's speech to the Groundhog's Day cast. Stay tuned for the part about the Panama Canal. pic.twitter.com/YK0nhkxiAa
