Jimmy Buffett's ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE Extends At Ivoryton Playhouse

Due to popular demand, Ivoryton Playhouse has announced an extension to the upcoming run of the delightfully fun musical Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville. The show will now run from August 8th through September 15th, 2024.

Escape to Margaritaville combines classic Jimmy Buffett hits with a lighthearted and engaging storyline, transporting audiences to a tropical paradise where love, laughter, and island adventure abound. The story follows Rachel, a career-driven scientist, on a trip to the islands for her best friend Tammy's bachelorette party. When she meets Tully, the local guitar-slinger and serial dater with a fear of commitment, they both may be in for more than they bargained for.

“We are absolutely delighted to bring Escape to Margaritaville to the Ivoryton stage,” says Ben Hope, Executive Producer of the Ivoryton Playhouse. “The response from our patrons has been extraordinary, and we are excited to extend the run to accommodate everyone who wants to join us on this musical journey. It will be the must-see event of the summer!”

Audiences can look forward to beloved Buffett classics such as "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Fins," "Volcano," and, of course, "Margaritaville." The show's lively music and heartwarming, humorous story will provide an unforgettable theatrical experience for music lovers and theatre-goers alike.
