All about the show

“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” so head over to Virginia Samford Theatre. Set your mind on island time because this musical is bringing you to the sandy beaches of the Caribbean.

Meet Tully Mars—he’s a part-time bartender, part-time singer and full-time charmer. Thinking he has life figured out to a tee, he meets a career-minded tourist who makes him question just about everything. You’ll be transported to a tropical vacation as you watch this hilarious love story unfold.

“Birmingham, in true Magic City fashion, has supplied an outstanding group of talent for this production. This show demands a lot from our cast and crew, including high-energy production numbers, intense quick-changes and tap dancing around an erupting volcano…literally. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that this premiere production is a must-see.

Getting to perform in this show is such a fun escape from reality—we are all dedicated to transporting the audience to their new favorite island resort. We welcome you to break out your favorite vacation shirt, grab a margarita from our friendly bartenders and join us for a brand-new experience that will certainly leave you wanting to go back to the island.”
