However, since the show never truly takes itself seriously, it seems to inherently recognize that low expectations come part and parcel with any show existing in the jukebox musical genre. There are no storyline surprises here as the show is pure cliché and predictable from the opening number, “License to Chill,” which got off to a pitchy start. Hinrichsen’s solo “It's My Job" is also an unexpected musical highlight as it is a lesser known Buffett tune (at least for the average fan). Their first act song, "Three Chords," is one of their better duets as it displays a more sincere affection between the two characters. By Act Two, they hit their stride with the ensemble in the big production number, "Cheeseburger in Paradise."Ĭlark and Hinrichsen achieve better chemistry as the show gets closer to its hardly surprising conclusion. The affection, especially between Qualmann and Jordan, seems absolutely genuine. The chemistry is undeniable between all four actors.
Then, Tammy meets Tully’s best friend, shy bartender Brick (Peter Michael Jordan), and instantly the two hit it off.Īt the same time, Rachel and Tully meet and sparks also fly … but not the good kind.
The only reason Rachel is even on the island is because her friend, Tammy (Emily Qualmann), is determined to have one last “girls’ holiday” with her best friend before getting married to her lout of a fiancé, Chadd (Kyle Southern). Tully falls for career-minded tourist, Rachel (Sarah Hinrichsen), who is an ambitious scientist primarily focused on her science project to utilize potatoes as an alternative source of energy. Once again, it is strongly advisable to abandon all attempts to try and think too deeply about the plausibility of the above. The Greg Garcia/Mike O'Malley story is about singer-songwriter Tully (Chris Clark), a laid-back rogue with no long-term plans who performs and hangs out at the cozy little “Margaritaville” resort bar on a remote tropical island … located right near an active volcano.
