Due to the great response from last year’s show, the members of Amelia Musical Playhouse are paying tribute once again to the late musician by sharing some back stories and performing some of Buffett’s best known hits.
You don’t have to live in Key West to know that Jimmy Buffett was a beloved songwriter and gifted performer who not only wrote great songs, but created an entire culture. His most famous venture, Margaritaville, expanded from a single song to a global brand encompassing restaurants, hotels, and merchandise, turning the laid-back island vibe into a multi-million dollar empire. “Parrotheads” are encouraged to wear their tropical best and join us as we celebrate Buffett’s legacy.
The show features several of AMP’s regulars, including Jill Dillingham, Bill Ivins, Zain Beverly, and others. In addition, the band also features Monty Smith on guitar and vocals, Dale Cooper on bass, and Mark Gulledge on drums, plus special guest Jeffrey Weathers on harmonica. There are many additional singers and a trio of ladies as the “Reeferettes.” The show is co-directed by Dillingham and Ivins.
Amelia Musical Playhouse is a non-profit community theater group, presenting a wide variety of shows —including musicals, comedies, farces, and much more. We are always looking for new members to the company, and hope that you will support local theater with your performance, backstage work, or attendance!
Amelia Musical Playhouse is located at 1955 Island Walkway, Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034.
