Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville at Zeiterion
New Bedford Festival Theatre [NBFT] returns to Zeiterion with “Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville” in July.
The musical runs for eight performances from July 17 through July 26. Evening performances begin at 7 p.m., with select 2 p.m. matinees. A steel drum band will perform on Purchase Street before each performance. A blue-and-gold macaw is also scheduled for lobby photo opportunities on July 17 and July 23.
Set on a Caribbean island, the story follows a tourist and a laid-back bartender whose paths lead to romance. Humor mixes with Jimmy Buffett favorites, including “Margaritaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
Local and New York-based performers make up the cast, while much of the creative team comes from the region. Tickets start at $42, with discounts available.
