It’s won a record 7 Olivier Awards, 13 Helpmann Awards and 5 Tony Awards. It will resume its decade long West End run in September and has already played in over 50 cities worldwide.

Minchin also wrote music and lyrics for the musical adaption of Groundhog Day, which debuted on Broadway in April 2017 and won the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 2017.

In November 2020, Tim debuted his solo album “Apart Together” at #3 in the ARIA charts. On the eve of the release Tim and his band streamed a live performance of the full album to a worldwide audience for 48 hours to critical acclaim.
