If you know these songs: Cheeseburger in ParadiseFinsChanges in Latitudes Changes in AttitudesWhy Don’t We Get Drunk and Margaritaville, you are probably a Parrot HeadIf you don’t know these songs or what a Parrot Head is, let me introduce you to Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville which opens this week at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood the next week.

Another jukebox musical, this one uses the party-friendly music of Buffett as a reason to put on the island t-shirts, the flip flops and dance to steel drum beats.

A love story is the center of the musical. An island hotel’s main entertainer, Tully (Chris Clark) is quite the ladies man. He’s not the settling down type. Not until a tourist named Rachel (Sarah Hinrichsen) enters the pictures and seems to disappear. It seems perhaps he might just have a soft spot in his heart after all.

Escape to Margaritaville began its life in 2017 at the La Jolla Playhouse directed by its Artistic Director Christopher Ashley. The show went to Broadway in 2018 where it ran for 124 performances.

The book was written by Mike O’Malley (Shameless) and Greg Garcia (Raising Hope.) Kelly Devine, who choreographed Come From Away, created the choreography for this show. Amy Anders Corcoran, who was associate and resident director of Escape to Margaritaville for Ashley, assumes the directing responsibilities for the tour.
