Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the ocean’s warm, and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all and the locals get into the kind of trouble you can almost always sweet talk your way out of. Featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, this new musical is the story of a part- time bartender, part-time singer and full-time charmer named Tully who thinks he’s got life all figured out... until a beautiful, career-minded tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything.
Though Escape to Margaritaville recently closed at the La Jolla Playhouse, photos from opening night keep rolling in. Enjoy our gallery of the star-studded La Jolla Playhouse premiere down below!
