After receiving mixed reviews, the singer’s debut on the Great White Way quickly ends.
The show officially opened at New York City’s Marquis Theatre in March after 29 preview performances, according to Playbill. When it closes, 124 regular performances will have been staged.
Featuring some of Buffett’s most famous songs — like “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Why Don’t We Get Drunk,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” and, of course, “Margaritaville” — the jukebox musical tells the stories of those who occupy a Caribbean island that seems to be paradise, including a bartender/singer whose view of the world is challenged after meeting a visiting scientist.
Helping theatergoers feel the island vibe, frozen margaritas are sold in the lobby, beach balls get bounced around the audience, and many sing-alongs break out.
It’s 5 o’clock at the Marquis Theatre!???? We’re gearin’ up for a good time here at the Opening Night performance of @BuffettMusical.

Sadly, when the Tony Award nominations were announced May 1, Buffett’s baby was completely shut out.
