Fun to sing along. A very good time. Brick was the best. It is too bad it is being canceled.
If you are a Buffett fan, I highly recommend it. The traffic was horrible that day, but once I got settled into the show, I enjoyed myself so much. Love the music and the plot. Gotta see it!!
Smile on my face the whole time. Upbeat and entertaining. Sorry to see it’s endung
Jimmy Buffett's music is memorable, and this show should have been a tribute to him. However, there was no need to create a dumb, weak story and string together some "new" music as an excuse to stage a show. Bad plot, meh new music, too few old Buffett songs. In addition the sound system in the Marquis Theatre was awful - very harsh. Understand why this musical has had poor ticket sales and it closing. Very disappointing.
My husband and I loved it. It held our attention the whole way through! Great dancers and singers, loved the guitar playing and guitarist!
Love the show! So funny and upbeat. Music was phenomenal. What a treat!
Want a great escape to La La land for a few hours. Felt likes a real fantasy. Don't miss it
This was a very intimate show. I’m a parrot head doing was there for the music which was awesome. But the acting and story were really good too. It should have done better. It should play for a lot longer I would definitely see it again.
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. We love Jimmy Buffet - so the music was right up our alley. The show was light and enjoyable. The audience really seemed to be enjoying the music - singing along and mimicking the hand movements. I'm sorry to see this show leave Broadway, but I'm glad I got to experience the fun.
This show was fantastic. A must for every Jimmy Buffet fan. You know all the songs already, and the story was woven together very well. Lots of laughs, with a great cast. I wish it was staying on Broadway longer so more people could see it.
This is definitely a show for Jimmy Buffet fans and judging by the number of people wearing tropical print clothing and singing along, knowing every word, many if them attended this show. .It was very entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Erik Peterson walked away with the show. Fabulous character actor.
This was a fun, lighthearted, entertaining show with its corny puns and upbeat funny songs. Just what we wanted for an escape from heavy dark shows for a change. Every one was smiling during and after the show. Mindless fun that we all can use now and then!
This was the most feel good happy show I have ever seen. I lived singing along with my favorite Jimmy Buffet songs as they were woven into a clever story . I hope to see it in another venue!
Escape to Margaritaville was a blast! Highly recommended!
REALLY enjoyed this show. Sad it's leaving Broadway as I would definitely go to see it again. It was funny and fun and loved the music. I highly recommend it.
While you didn't have to be a Parrothead to really enjoy this show (or get the humor), being one helped make it a great experience. Sadly, it apparently missed the mark with the traditional New York audience, resulting in a shorter run than what I had hoped. They don't know what they missed. Yes, it was true escapism; it was fun; it was pure Buffett; and it was the stuff that has created the type of Parrothead following that includes people of all ages. It was great mingling with other audience members prior to the show. I saw this in its pre-Broadway run in Chicago and was absolutely convinced I wanted to see it on Broadway. I am so glad I did. I was thrilled to see the engagement of the audience- which was missing in Chicago. And while the songs were familiar, they were used effectively and did a great job of telling an ordinary story in an extraordinary style. I had a blast! Thank you Jimmy Buffett; escaping to Margaritaville is always a great experience!
I'm a die-hard Parrot Head. This show is so amazing & so indicative of the whole lifestyle that Jimmy Buffett represents. The cast looked like they were truly having a great time. They encouraged the audience to respond & participate. We were front & center on the 2nd row dressed tropically with leis & beads - the cast pointed me out twice & then actually took my hand during a song. Even my 23 year old son sang and smiled through the whole show. If you can't go to a Jimmy Buffett concert, this is the next best thing. We saw it on tour last November in Houston, TX before they went to Broadway. So glad to see it again - even better this time. Stayed after to meet & get autographs from the cast.
There is nothing bad about this show. The talent, music, dancing, and professionalism is stellar. I took the train up from Maryland for the day twice to see this show and I'd do it again. I'm so sad it's closing, it's very underrated. The world needs more upbeat and feel good shows that leave you smiling and in a great mood.
