In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, FLOYD COLLINS himself became the attraction when he got trapped 200 feet underground. This haunting musical one of the most acclaimed in recent years tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer. NEW YORK MAGAZINE writes, "This is the original and daring musical of our day... a powerhouse" and the LOS ANGELES TIMES says "Plaintive, often inspired...Adam Guettel is a composer for the new century." |
