Jay Harbison, Saffron Brauer, and Maximus Dorsey round out the stellar cast. Martie Ramm is the director and Rick Heckman is the musical director and conductor.

Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the ocean’s warm, and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all.

Jimmy Buffett’s: Escape to Margaritaville is a musical comedy featuring the most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, including “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Margaritaville,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Fins,” “Volcano,” and many more. With a book by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia (“My Name is Earl,” “Raising Hope”) and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley (“Survivor’s Remorse,” “Shameless”), this hilarious, heartwarming musical is the party you’ve been waiting for!

It is the story of a part-time bartender, part-time singer, and full-time charmer named Tully who thinks he’s got life all figured out until a beautiful career-minded tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything.

As you kick off your flip flops and set your clock to island time, our stage is transformed into a tropical paradise where love and laughter are the keys to ‘growing older but not up.’ Join us in Margaritaville!
