Jimmy Buffett News

Come together to experience the Best of Broadway in Broward!

Ignore the New York reviews. 'Escape to Margaritaville,' the Jimmy Buffett musical which opened its national tour at the Providence Performing Arts Center this week, is two hours of wry, high-energy fun. The music, of course, is a delight, but the book is also full of clever moments and the cast -- of mostly newcomers -- sparkle.

Blue Man Group has been described as hard to describe. Maybe so; they are certainly easy to love. Three bald and blue men have been exploring the world onstage since their debut at New York's Astor Place Theatre in 1991; they bring music, comedy and surprises at every turn. The Harris Center presents Blue Man Group in their new tour, Speechless, for eight shows.

Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming musical with the most unforgettable songs from one of music's greatest storytellers when Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville comes to Walton Arts Center Oct. 22-27 for eight performances. Along with the show, audiences can enhance their Broadway experience with three extras a?" an add-on craft cocktail class, Tropical Garden Party or Book Club.

The North American tour of Jimmy Buffett's ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE is getting ready to hit the road! The musical will star Chris Clark as Tully, Sarah Hinrichsen as Rachel, Shelly Lynn Walsh as Tammy, Peter Michael Jordan as Brick, Rachel Lyn Fobbs as Marley, Patrick Cogan as J.D. and Matthew James Sherrod as Jamal/Ted.

The guest artists will also join McCain and Sharp for a four-part Workshop Series.
