It's interesting how Tim describes the style of Hope as "teenager-y" because, given that the show takes place approximately now and Phil is about 40, he would've been a teenager in the 90s, so this kind of grunge sound would definitely be the music of his adolescence. And I think that speaks to the immaturity he's stuck in, but also the vulnerability and fear. He's lost all sense of security and control over his life and he feels like a scared and angry kid.

Interesting observation! The 90’s thing.

[@lyncohn4120]

This is absolutely fascinating; I really wish Tim would play Phil himself in a movie version of the musical.

I saw the final performance of GHD and Tim was in attendance. So pissed I didn't stage door. He's one of my favorite musicians.

Jack Kelly - Dude I walked past him ON MY WAY TO SEE GROUNDHOG DAY, and I didn’t even know it was him. These girls were taking a pic with him and I was like “hm he looks familiar” .... I’m still mad at myself lmaoo

[@ThatGirlWithTheCoffee]

I stage doored and saw him about a week before it closed- someone burst into tears when he appeared

[@Analblockage]

He was robbed of a tony for Matilda.

[@iLikePotato3s]

I wish he could release the sheet music

[@lordlacolith]

Good news! www.timminchin.com/2019/10/22/groundhog-day-sheet-music-is-available-now/

[@pagup123]

12 hours in a day? Lol what? Nonetheless, Tim's awesome

[@willpoost4316]

I would assume he is speaking "day" as in morning/breakfast to evening/dinner.

[@4dultw1thj0b]

12-hour cycles probably is what he meant.

[@amnesiacapothecary]

Please tell me that little blip of footage means there's an eventual proshot

[@Kimians]

'Fuck Pro-Tools' Love it.

[@Grawp55]

Good song and interesting hearing about its birth , but for me there is something lost in excluding the movie's classic daybreak song, "Put your little hand in mine"...

[@YAMMAS]

They couldn't add that song due to copyright concerns unfortunately

[@lyncohn4120]

i don't think it's unfortunate at all; i prefer to have all the original songs. @@YAMMAS

[@YAMMAS]

@@lyncohn4120 I think the me 3 years ago liked spreading misinformation. Idk where I got that information from and I don't remember writing it. Crazy I'm just rediscovering this now.
