Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville

Walnut Street Theatre, located at 825 Walnut Street, is presenting Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville  through April 30, 2023. Walnut Street’s main stage is literally transformed into an island paradise and the audience is along for a fun-filled experience. The ensemble cast is very talented. Matteo Scammell, as Tulley, has several opportunities to demonstrate his  voice with his guitar. Amanda Robles, as Rachel, harmonizes very nicely with him. Dana Orange portraying Jamal,  blows everyone away with his version of Volcano, lamenting, ”I don’t know where to go when the volcano blow.” Kelly J. Mazzella as  Tammy, a few days before her wedding day, has an unlikely pairing with bartender Brick, played by Zach Kononov.  Both are delightful to watch and  listen to. The ensemble is an excellent arm of the show. Experiencing  the production is  relaxing, entertaining, and laugh-out-loud funny. One of the songs requires audience participation and the audience loves the involvement. Laughter rings out throughout the theatre. Sets are always an integral part of the production at the Walnut but Brian Froonjian’s scenic designs are incredible. Sets roll out seamlessly one in front of another and others drop from the ceiling. At one minute you find yourself on the beach during the day, then  you're in the middle of starlit- trees at night. It is glorious.  For more information or tickets, call 215-574-3550; visit online at WalnutStreetTheatre.org or visit the box office at 825   Walnut Street.
