ABOUT
Escape to Margaritaville is a jukebox musical featuring the beloved songs of Jimmy Buffett. Set on a tropical island getaway, the story follows Tully, a laid-back bartender and singer who meets Rachel, a hardworking career-focused tourist visiting the island with her friend Tammy. As their lives intersect, Tully and Rachel — along with Tammy and a local islander named Brick — navigate the clash between carefree island living and the responsibilities of the mainland. The musical blends romance, humor, and adventure, all underscored by Buffett’s signature beachy tunes like “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” and, of course, “Margaritaville.”
Throughout the show, the characters face choices about love, ambition, and what it means to find happiness. The island setting, colorful supporting characters, and easygoing spirit capture the escapist fantasy that defines Buffett’s music. Ultimately, Escape to Margaritaville is a celebration of living in the moment, reminding audiences to slow down, enjoy life’s simple pleasures, and embrace unexpected opportunities. With its feel-good energy and tropical vibe, the musical offers a lighthearted, musical vacation from the everyday.
