FLOYD COLLINS will begin previews Thursday, March 27 and open on Monday, April 21 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65 Street). Floyd Collins had its world premiere at the American Music Theater Festival in Philadelphia in 1994. It was followed by the off-Broadway debut at Playwrights Horizons in 1996 where it won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical. Due to its enduring cast recording, the musical has achieved a devoted following over the years. This Lincoln Center Theater production will mark the long-awaited Broadway debut of this modern-day classic. Floyd Collins is 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 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, tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer. Tickets to FLOYD COLLINS will be available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, at telecharge.com, or by visiting www.LCT.org beginning Thursday, December 12 at 12:00pm EST. A limited number of tickets priced at $35.50 (including fees) are available at every performance through LincTix, LCT's program for 18 to 35-year-olds. For information and to enroll, visit LincTix.org.
