Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville sails into Millbrook Playhouse
MILL HALL, PA – Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville opens on the Ryan Mainstage Friday and runs through June 23.
Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville is described as the party of the summer. Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the water’s warm and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all, and where Tully, a part time bartender/singer and full-time charmer thinks he’s got life all figured out – until a beautiful tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything. Take a break from your troubles, make some new friends at the bar and kick back to the sounds of your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, plus some new songs! It doesn’t get much better than this. It’s more than a musical – it’s a way of life!
Directed by Millbrook’s artistic director Shannon Agnew (Camelot, Beauty and the Beast, Mamma Mia), choreographed by Millbrook favorite Erika Wasko (Beauty and the Beast), and music directed by Halle Mitchell (A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline) this feel good musical party features your favorite Jimmy Buffett songs woven together with the perfect balance of humor and romance.

This is the perfect show for anyone looking to relax, laugh, and have a fantastic and fun night at Millbrook.” When asked what audiences can expect, Agnew stated “…the show is designed to set your mind to island time. The music is familiar and fun, and we have added some interactive moments and humor to the script that will make sure everyone in the theater is in on all of the fun!”
