Hey guys, what's up?
So my name's Eric Petersen
and I am taking over Broadway Box's Instagram today
and this is the start to the story,
I know it's 1:11
and some people's days have already started,
I have two kids,
I have two kids so my morning was pretty busy.
I wasn't able to take any pictures
for the story,
but I actually took some snapshots
I'll probably add those later.
But now I'm in a cab on my way
down to the matinee
for Escape to Margaritaville
@BuffettMusical
for your Instagram.
So we have that one show today
at two o'clock
and then we have a second show
at eight o'clock,
I have a rehearsal for a concert
I'm singing in
at Joe's Pub between shows,
I'll take you to that rehearsal,
I'll show you some of the cast members
from Escape to Margaritaville
and a bunch of fun stuff!
So welcome to the start of the story,
and if you guys have any questions
I find that the best way
to send questions that
I love to answer any questions
you might have,
is on that first post that I made today
that said I was doing the takeover
for Broadway Box,
put it in the comment.
And then anything that
you guys want to know about,
Escape to Margaritaville,
or me,
or what it's like
to be a professional actor
on Broadway or TV
or living in New York City
or anything like that
I'd love to give advice
and answer questions so
So here I am
this is my microphone.
I get two mics just in case
one of them ever goes out,
but they say my name,
have a little headshot of me
so if there's a sub
they know who it goes to,
and then I'll wear these
for the show tonight.
So this here is my awesome robe,
we wear robes down to the changing station
and this is my awesome pineapple robe
that I got from this company right here
Chubbies which I love.
I actually gave one of these robes
to Jimmy Buffett
and he wore it
and the Chubbies Instagram basically exploded.
(water running)
(scrubbing noises)
(suspenseful music)
(bright music)
Well folks,
we just finished the first act
of Escape to Margaritaville
it's now intermission
for the matinee.
We have about 15 minutes
so I'm gonna check some emails,
call my wife,
check in on them,
and then I have to go do a costume change
for act two.
All right, talk to ya soon!
So these are some of the props
from act one,
and they're not going to be used
in act two so
they're gonna get lifted up
to the ceiling.
(chatter)
There they go.
Bye bye act one!
Say hi, say who you are.
Greetings, Instagrammers!
This is Lon Hoyt of Margaritaville!
One of the conductors here,
standing by my trusty cloud,
hope you're enjoying the show.
