Put down the margar- ita and head to Actors’ Playhouse for Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville. With a book by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley and featur- ing Buffett’s music, the jukebox musical is both fun and engaging, telling the story of two friends who head down to a Caribbean resort where they meet Tully Mars, a beach bum and entertainer who challenges them to let go of their everyday stressors. When the show pre- miered on Broadway in 2017, critics were less than kind: “If ever there were a time to be drunk in the theater, this is it,” Jesse Green opined in the New York Times. We say that sounds like a challenge. 8 p.m. Wednesday through February 26, at Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, 280 Miracle Mile, Coral Ga- bles; 305-444-9293; actorsplayhouse.org.
