Floyd Collins

Floyd Collins is a gripping musical based on the true story of a cave explorer trapped 200 feet underground in Kentucky in 1925. While attempting to turn Sand Cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd (Jeremy Jordan) becomes the main attraction himself. As the media frenzy grows, Floyd fights for his life, with only sporadic contact with the outside world, including his brother Homer.

With a haunting score by Adam Guettel (The Light in the Piazza) and direction by Tina Landau, Floyd Collins explores the dark side of the American dream through a powerful, folk-inspired narrative.
