“This talented cast has been hand-selected to share and celebrate the story, music, and lifestyle of this show on its first national tour,” said Buffett in an earlier statement. “I am thrilled that this group of performers will transform theatres into Margaritaville each evening. Margaritaville started out as an idea, but now you can actually spend an evening there, and get your mind on island time.”
