In the years since the film's release, Rubin had worked on a musical adaptation of ''Groundhog Day'', partly out of boredom and partly because a musical was not covered by the rights he had signed over to Columbia.<ref name="telegraph interview" /><ref name="VultureRubin" /> In 2003, [[Stephen Sondheim]] expressed interest creating a musical but this project was never realized.<ref name="BroadwayPlaybill" /> When [[Matthew Warchus]] and [[Tim Minchin]] approached Rubin in 2012, he had already developed a narrative outline, jokes, and a refined list of 12 songs.<ref name="telegraph interview" /><ref name="VultureRubin" /> He had been unable to progress the idea further without a composer.
