Based on the true story of a Kentucky caver, “Floyd Collins” is a haunting musical that explores the themes of spirituality, hope and the quest for glory. In 1925, chasing fame and fortune underground, Collins ventures into unexplored Sand Cave hoping to turn it into a tourist attraction. When a rock lodges his leg in a crevice, he is trapped 200 feet below the surface. The attempt to rescue him becomes a national effort and sparks one of the biggest news sensations the nation has ever seen, with Collins himself tragically becoming the tourist attraction. With a musical style that draws from bluegrass and Americana, “Floyd Collins” is a transcendent modern musical.
