Tony-nominee Jeremy Jordan takes you inside into the music of his newest Broadway outing, Floyd Collins. Learm more about Adam Guettel’s country-tinged score, making its Broadway debut this spring! Watch the video!
The story is based on the death of Floyd Collins, a cave explorer who died near Cave City, Kentucky in the winter of 1925. While chasing fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Collins himself becomes the attraction when he is trapped 200 feet underground.
Alone but 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 circus. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descend on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath.
