Floyd Collins
About the Show
FLOYD COLLINS is a gripping and powerful musical based on the true story of a cave explorer in Kentucky, 1925. While chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning Sand Cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins (Jeremy Jordan) himself becomes the attraction when he gets trapped 200 feet underground. Alone but for sporadic contact with the outside world, including his brother Homer, Floyd fights for his sanity – and, ultimately, his life – as the rescue effort above explodes into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descend on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath.
FLOYD COLLINS, featuring a haunting exploration of the American dream by Tina Landau and a glorious folk and bluegrass-inspired score by Adam Guettel (The Light in the Piazza), tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.

About the Theatre
Vivian Beaumont Theatre
150 W 65th St
New York, NY 10036
The Vivian Beaumont Theater, designed by architect Eero Saarinen, opened on October 21, 1965. Initially home to the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center until its closure in 1973, it later hosted Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival from 1973 to 1977. The theater underwent periods of external rentals and limited use until 1985 when Lincoln Center Theater took over management. Under Lincoln Center Theater, led by figures like Gregory Mosher, Bernard Gersten, Linda LeRoy Janklow, and Andre Bishop, it has become the largest not-for-profit theater in the U.S., producing a diverse year-round program across the Beaumont and other NYC venues.
