Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville
When you want to get away but can’t just hop off to the islands at the moment — then Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville  road touring company might be just the ticket!
Sarah Hinrichsen is Rachel, a too serious scientist, and  Shelly Lynn Walsh, her best friend Tammy.  Together they head off to take a break before  Tammy’s wedding in Cincinatti, Ohio to a total jerk.  There they meet Chris Clark who stars as Tully,  a singer in a run down hotel in the Caribbean, and Peter Michael Jordan, who plays Brick the bartender. 
 Rachel Lyn Fobbs is Marley the owner of the bar, Patrick Cogan is J.D. a one eyed beach bum  and Matthew James Sherrod is Jamal, the busboy.  
What Rachel and Tammy find is not exactly what the pictures looked like on the internet, but something better.  True love!
This juke box musical featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, including “Fins,” “Volcano,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” and many more is packed with fun.  And as fine as these leading cast members are, the ensemble dance pieces are absolutely the best.  This is one show that did not have to ask for the audience to participate —everyone fell right in to the rhythm and responses.   

At the National Theatre from October 8-13, 2019.

Using the very words from Pushkin’s poem,  Tchaikovsky built the opera through a series of powerful co...
