Spreading That Summer Feeling!

With an emphasis on 'not sweating the small stuff,' Buffett's musical oozes with the musician's greatest hits, with its chilled out party atmosphere its the ultimate musical theatre vacation!

Featuring a book by Greg Garcia and Mike O'Malley with music and lyrics by Buffett himself, the production is titled after the 1977 smash hit "Margaritaville", the song that led to the artist's induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

What Is Escape To Margaritaville About?

Escape to Margaritaville follows the fortunes of a charming bartender and singer, Tully, who spends his days between shifts seducing the rich female tourists on the tropical island of Margaritaville. Known as a local ladykiller, Tully can sweet-talk his way out of almost any scrape he finds himself in, whether it be an irate husband or frustrated boss. That is until the arrival of a lone, single female tourist who takes her career seriously; Tully falls head over heels but she is as frosty as the drinks he serves behind the bar. Can he win her heart before she flies home, and will the swaying palms and warm summer breeze convince them to both change their ways?
