Bohemian
April 8, 2025
Jerome Kern. Richard Rogers. Oscar Hammerstein II. Stephen Sondheim. Jimmy Buffett.
Something seems off there.
Show Boat, Oklahoma!, Gypsy, Escape to Margaritaville.
Something really seems off there.
“Ol’ Man River,” “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
OK, I think you see where this is going.
In the pantheon of great American musical theater, one would be hard pressed to include Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville.
