WHO IS --
Joy: ARE YOU THE BARTENDER?
YES THE BARTENDER.
HE IS THE LOYAL GOLDEN
RETRIEVER.
Joy: I TOTALLY GET IT!
ANYONE WILLING TO GIVE HIM
THE TIME OF DAY.
HE ENDS UP FOLLOWING THIS ONE
AROUND.
[LAUGHTER]
Joy: WHAT A FUN SHOW!
THIS SHOW, DID THIS HIT
BROADWAY LIKE NOT LONG AGO?
2017.
THEY WERE THERE FOR A LITTLE
BIT.
THEN WHERE THE FIRST BROADWAY
NATIONAL TOUR.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT IS
TRAVELING AROUND THE COUNTRY.
Tom: YOU TALK ABOUT MUSIC
THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS.
EXACTLY!
Tom: AND IT IS GREAT MUSIC!
I GREW UP LISTENING TO THE
SONGS IN THE CAR NOT EVEN
REALIZING I WAS LEARNING THEM.
AND I KNEW THE SONGS BEFORE WE
STARTED REHEARSAL.
Joy: UNDERSTANDS THAT YOUR
PARENTS WERE --
THEY, GREW UP WITH HIS
MUSIC.
AND THEY WERE THRILLED WHEN I
GOT THE CALL.
Joy: THAT'S FABIUS!
LIKE I MENTIONED, MICHELLE
IS IT HASN'T BEEN LONG FOR
TERRIBLY LONG BUT IT'S A HUGE
HIT AND PEOPLE LOVE IT.
IT HAS TO BE FUN NO MATTER WHAT
THE WEATHER, NO MATTER WHAT THE
SEASON TO FAILURE ON A TROPICAL
ISLAND HAVING A BLAST IN
MARGARITAVILLE.I MEAN THAT'S
YOUR JOB.
YES AND THERE'S A SONG
CALLED IT'S OUR JOB SO
LITERALLY.
IT IS SO MUCH FUN.
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN AND
EVERYONE LOOKS AT THE STAGE, IT
IS AN OASIS, SO MUCH FUN.
Tom: YOU KNOW IT CAN BE JUST
ABOUT ANYWHERE.
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.
THAT'S THE BEST PART.
THERE ARE SO MANY
MARGARITAVILLE AROUND THE
COUNTRY THAT PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
KNOW NECESSARILY IT'S CONNECTED
TO JIMMY BUFFETT AND WHO HE IS.
IT IS AMAZING THERE SO MANY
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE GROUP TO BE
PART OF.
AND IT CAN BE YOUR BACK
DECK.
YES!
Tom: WHAT IS IT LIKE
PERFORMING THESE SONGS?
I THROW THIS WORD OUT ONCE IN A
WHILE BUT IT IS TRUE, IT IS
ICONIC MUSIC.
I MEAN WE ALL GREW UP WITH THIS
STUFF NO MATTER IF YOU'RE MY
AGE OR THEIR AGE.
AND WHAT IS IT LIKE PERFORMING
THOSE HUGE HITS.
I MEAN, FOR ME IT IS REALLY
CRAZY.
JIMMY SAT IN ON ONE OF OUR
REHEARSALS.
AND SINGING 5:00 SOMEWHERE.
I CAME OFF THINKING BACK, DID
THAT JUST HAPPEN?
[LAUGHTER] SO IT'S REALLY WILD.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, BEING ABLE
TO GROW UP WITH THE MUSIC AND
SING IT ON SUCH A BIG STAGE FOR
EVERYONE.
AND YOU HAVE ELECTRONIC
SONGS THAT MAKE THEIR WAY TO
THE STORY.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
FANS AND THEN YOU KNOW THERE
ARE THINGS THAT YOU WILL
REMEMBER FROM THE SONGS THAT
ARE A BIG PART OF THE
STORYLINE.
SPECIFICALLY I THINK
CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE SO I
WILL SAY IT IS SO DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT YOU'RE USED TO.
AND THAT'S THE BEST PART IS
SORT OF WRITTEN TO ALMOST BE
LIKE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.
AND IT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN
JIMMY'S VERSION.
BUT WE BOTH SING ON THAT.
IT'S KIND OF A PART OF MY STORY
SPECIFICALLY AND THE WAY THAT
THEY HAVE MADE IT GO INTO THE
STORY IS HILARIOUS AND ALSO IT
REALLY IS GREAT.
Joy: A MUST SEE FOR SURE.
AS GET TO MARGARITAVILLE.
