Anyone catch the tour yet?  I saw it Wednesday night in Orlando.  I wasn't expecting much, since I read the comments on here from the Broadway run.  Plus I'm not a big fan of Jimmy Buffett.  It was okay, nothing more, nothing less.  I viewed a clip on youtube of the original cast and they greatly differed in appearance of the touring cast.  I always thought tour casting mirrored the Broadway production. I am most curious to know if the tour has changes from the Broadway show.  I don't remember seeing dancing clouds.  It could be my attention was focused away at the moment.  Lucky me, had an obnoxious pair in front of me.  He was drunk and talking and singing in full volume.  Although it was cold in the venue, she fanned herself with her playbill, the entire show.  How she could do that without her arm getting tired, amazed me.

This show is doing great on tour, especially with drunk Jimmy Buffet fans.  I still believe its broadway run should have been a limited-stop on a continual tour.  It's great for an audience that normally doesn't see Broadway shows.

A guy I went to school with is in the ensemble, this is his first national tour gig. Super excited for him. I have little interest in the show, but might catch it just to see him.

Saw a pic via playbill and looks like the set / design is basically the same just smaller and probably doesn’t move.

They need to just put it on a cruise ship. Or into the Buffet hotel?

"They need to just put it on a cruise ship. Or into the Buffet hotel?"

I agree, this is a perfect show for cruise ship.
