Escape to Margaritaville is a Broadway show musical comedy featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, including “Fins,” “Volcano,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and many more.

Our thoughts:

The Jimmy Buffett musical was lighthearted and fun – just what you’d expect from the talented singer/songwriter. Although he’s not the show’s creator, the musical is based on a book by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley and features music and lyrics by the musician. The show followed that storytelling feel that Buffett songs have, and of course, featured a lot of Hawaiian shirts during the performance. Oh, and look out for the beach balls at the end of the show for some added fun! If you’re in need of a vacation, but can’t get away – this musical is just what the doctor ordered!

Dr. Phillips Center tips:

If you have a Fairwinds account and attend a performance on opening night, you can enjoy complimentary appetizers and beverages in their members-only room. Additionally, the theater offers several bars on tiers one through 4 where you can purchase snacks and drinks.

The Stage Door – once the performance has concluded, you can head over to the stage door located outside of the theater and meet and greet with some of the performers! They often will take a selfie with you and your guests and autograph your playbook!
