BWW Interview: @AlisonLuff Talks ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE's Pre-Broadway Tour Stop in Houston @buffettmusical

Calling all Parrotheads! This week the musical starting the music of Jimmy Buffett, ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE, opens at the Saenger Theatre! If you need to escape reality for a couple of hours, sink your toes in the sand, and breathe in that fresh island air, this is the show for you. As New Orleanians, we have sort of laid claim on Jimmy Buffett, although he is originally from Pascagoula, Mississippi, because over the course of his entire career he has brought his music and lifestyle straight to our hometown.

Jimmy Buffet stopped by NBC's TODAY to talk about the exciting project, admitting, 'It's been a long process to actually make this happen. It's a lot bigger process than I ever thought.'
