Audiences can leave worries behind and dive into a tropical adventure with Jimmy Buffett's ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE this month.
The feel-good musical, which opened Thursday, Aug. 8, at the Firehouse Theatre will close out the summer with a blend of Buffett’s classic hits that will transport audiences to an island paradise where the sun is hot, the drinks are cold and the living is easy.
Escape to Margaritaville tells the story of Tully, a charming bartender and singer at a rundown island resort who falls for a beautiful, career-minded tourist named Rachel.
As they navigate their way through unexpected challenges and delightful surprises, Tully and Rachel discover the joy of living in the moment and the magic of a Margaritaville state of mind.
“Jimmy Buffet's music hits close to home for me and is so near and dear to my heart. I grew up with my parents always listening to his music, and I think they owned every one of his albums. Sometimes you just need to sit back, relax and enjoy some island vibes, and that's how I grew up,” said Director Benjamin Keegan Arnold. “I'm excited for audiences to see a blend of fun exciting singing and choreography, and chill beach music. I'm so excited to transport audiences to Margaritaville, where everyone is your best friend.”
The production will feature a live six-piece island rock combo band led by Music Director Bryce Biffle.
Tickets to Escape to Margaritaville, running through August 25, start at $38 for adults and $34 for students, seniors, educators and first responders. Saturday matinee performances are $34.
Walk-up rush tickets are available 30 minutes before Thursday performances and must be purchased in-person at the box office. Rush tickets are $17 plus a $3 convenience fee and are subject to availability.
