Floyd Collins

In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself becomes the attraction when he gets trapped 200 feet underground. Alone except for sporadic contact with the outside world, Floyd fights for his sanity and ultimately his life as the rescue effort above explodes into the first genuine media crisis. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descend on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath. Adam Guettel’s haunting musical tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.
