‘Margaritaville – The Musical’ in the Works

On the November 26th edition of the Tony Kornheiser Show, guest Greg Garcia revealed that he’s working with actor and writer Mike O’Malley on a broadway musical based on “Margaritaville.”

Garcia said that they’ve talked with Jimmy and that he’s on board. They’ll use Jimmy’s existing music, plus some new original songs that JB’s writing.

Garcia and O’Malley worked together on the television show “Yes, Dear.”

You can listen to the conversation at ESPN980.com (11/26/14 Hour 2 around the 19:00 mark).

Mike O’Malley has been trying to get something going with ‘Margaritaville’ for years. Back in 2008, we reported that he was working with Buffett on a television show based on characters that Jimmy sings about.
