Escape To Margaritaville

Why see Escape To Margaritaville?

Spreading That Summer Feeling!

Jimmy Buffet's sunny musical, Escape to Margaritaville, is ready to transport you to a tropical island with a twist. With an emphasis on 'not sweating the small stuff' Buffet's musical oozes with the musician's greatest hits. With its chilled-out party atmosphere, it's time to escape the everyday with this excellent local production!

With a book by Greg Garcia and Mike O'Malley and music and lyrics by Buffet himself, this semi-autobiographical musical is named after Buffet's 1977 smash hit 'Margaritaville' which also saw the star inducted into the 2016 Grammy Hall of Fame. Depicting images of ice-cold cocktails and bright beaches, Escape to Margaritaville celebrates life on a tropical island and is sure to leave you with that glowing summer feeling.

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?

Will go again - fun

A wonderful show, everybody joined in with the songs. A happy experience, will definitely see again. Great seats. It is a shame the bar was closed at the end of the show, many would have stayed and kicked on. ... Read more

Escape to Margaritaville

My wife and I went to see Escape to Margaritaville for our anniversary and we weren't disappointed. The show embodies the flavor and attitude of Jimmy Buffet music. It exuded laid-backtitude. The Marquis Theatre is a great venue for this show with comfortable, roomy seating. We sat in Orchestra, Center Row V and our view was great. Frozen Margaritas were served in the theatre for $16.00 with drinking allowed in your seats! Parrotheads were visible throughout the theatre so feel free to wear tropical attire (parrot hats would probably block others' view.) This show was pure fun. The story is your typical boy gets girl, boy loses girl , boy gets girl affair but the interweaving of Buffets timeless music was fun to watch. The music begs for and got plenty of audience participation with sing alongs aplenty. If you're looking for a fun night out for any age, this is it. And you might want to try Tommy Bahama's Restaurant for dinner to round out your "trop-rock" evening. We loved it! Enjoy! ... Read more

Escape to Margaritaville

After reading the scathing reviews - I got my ticket anyway. Take a leap of faith as the plot is totally unbelievable and goofy - but the actors, the band and the songs made up for it. It was like a quick trip to a Caribbean bar. Breezy, relaxing, kitschy and amusing. Dont expect too much - just sit back and enjoy the vibe. The crowd loved it and were clapping and standing by the end. ... Read more
