Parrot Heads Rejoice! Jimmy Buffett Brings His Music to Broadway and Does Not Disappoint!!

Jimmy Buffett's music arrives on Broadway in the new, original "juke-box" musical "ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE." This 21st century rom-com story is built around a female environmental scientist who visits a Caribbean island for her best friend's pre-nuptial bachelorette vacation. She encounters a laid-back lounge singer who takes HER to a new latitude/attitude while a tattooed bartender tempts the bride-to-be with humor, empathy and song. A volcano erupts. Flashbacks abound. Geriatric love finds a way. Happiness is everywhere, just like the libations in "5' O'clock Somewhere" and beach balls eventually drop from the heavens.

Jimmy Buffett fans will find many of his major hits, but with a few lyric changes to fit the story which only make it more exciting. It is enlightening to hear his stories sung with different voices, and "He Went to Paris" can bring on the tears. Singing along is still possible, especially in the first act when crusty, old character JD picks up his ukulele and asks "those folks on the beach" to speak up and "Let's Get Drunk….".

The ensemble cast stars Paul Alexander Nolan, Alison Luff, Lisa Howard, Eric Petersen, Rema Webb, Don Sparks, Andre Ward, who all bring their talent and expertise to create this thoroughly enjoyable evening of fun, fun, fun. Although Buffet himself does not appear in the show, he may show up at the curtain call to add a little more tequila to that last Margarita!

So Go! Go! Go! Get your ticket to "ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE" at the Marquis Theatre, 46th St. NYC, and remember as Jimmy sings, "If we can't laugh then we'd all go insane."
