Floyd Collins follows a cave explorer in 1920’s Kentucky as he dreams of finding fame and fortune underground and when a cave-in leaves him trapped 55 feet below the earth’s surface, the media circus above ground makes his personal tragedy a national sensation.
Tina Landau and Adam Guettel’s award-winning musical is an examination of the media’s reaction to the events in the cave, the various attempts to rescue Floyd and a moving insight into a family’s suffering.
Glenn Carter (Jesus Christ Superstar, Jersey Boys), Robyn North (The Phantom of the Opera) and Ryan Sampson (Doctor Who, The Kitchen Sink) lead a thirteen strong cast in this production, the first revival of the show in the UK for over ten years.
