FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Escape to Margaritaville

‘Escape to Margaritaville’ review: A Jimmy Buffett Broadway jukebox
5 / 10

Shoehorning songs into a plot 'Mamma Mia!'-style doesn't exactly accentuate Buffett tunes that already tell tales of their own. And the weak and weird book by Greg Garcia ('Raising Hope') and Mike O'Malley ('Shameless') doesn't help matters.

Escape to Margaritaville Review: Even a Shaker of Salt Can’t Save This One
5 / 10

For the show's investors, it may not matter that Escape to Margaritaville isn't very good. It blends the greatest hits of Jimmy Buffett, a set of cheery cardboard characters, and a simple-if occasionally demented-plot into a concoction syrupy enough to taste sort of like a Broadway show. But like the worst versions of its namesake beverage, it's too watered-down to be much fun.
