Music and lyrics by Jimmy Buffet with book by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call.
As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, visions of frosty cocktails begin to dance in our heads! Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville is the perfect mini-vacation your tropical-lovin’ heart is looking for! With a book by Emmy Award-winning writer Greg Garcia and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley this “toes in the sand” musical tells the story of Tully, a charismatic, easily loveable, part-time bartender and singer who unexpectedly falls for a beautiful but career-minded tourist named Rachel. Follow along as this unlikely pair find that incredible sunsets aren’t the only thing that’s hot and sultry in the tropics. Featuring all of your favorite, classic, Jimmy Buffett hits like “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Margaritaville,” “It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere,” “Fins,” “Volcano,” and many more, get ready to sail to that “One Particular Harbor,” kick off your flip flops, and experience some “Changes in Latitudes!”
Presented through special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Group

A Play by William Goldman based on the novel by Stephen King
Writing can be your life or . . . your life can depend on your writing.
Stephen King’s critically acclaimed novel, Misery is set to hit the stage! Someone can love you so much it hurts—you. The life of Paul, a successful romance novelist, is saved (or is it?) when he is rescued from a car crash by his “Number One Fan,” Annie Wilkes. Audiences will remember this as the knockout (pun intended) role which won Kathy Bates an Oscar for Best Actress in 1991. When Paul wakes up, he realizes he is being held captive in her remote, secluded home. As he slowly begins to get better, Annie reads the manuscript to his newest novel and becomes engulfed in rage when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain! Annie forces Paul to write a new “Misery” novel, and he quickly begins to realize that his new caretaker/warden has no intention of letting him go anywhere. As Annie continues to unravel and lose her grip on reality, she has Paul writing day and night. It’s as if his life depended on it, which—it turns out—it does. Paul struggles to pen a book he doesn’t want to write and begins to realize that if he does not find a way out of this living nightmare, Misery will be much more than a character in one of his books; it’ll be his sole existence!
RATED R
This event is recommended for mature audiences only. We strongly urge parents to reconsider bringing their children to this play. They will be exposed to extreme profanity and graphic/bloody violence.
