Floyd Collins, a musical about a trapped spelunker and the media circus surrounding his failed rescue, had a brief Off Broadway run in 1996. (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/10/theater/floyd-collins-broadway.html)
Needless to say, I can hardly wait! :) :) :)
Gorgeous score!
I am very excited for this!!!
Somehow I never realized it had not played on Broadway before. I knew it started off-Broadway but I always thought it transferred.
Casting has been announced:
Deadline: Broadway Floyd Collins Sets Jeremy Jordan to Lead Cast of Jason Gotay, Lizzy McAlpine, Others (https://deadline.com/2024/11/broadway-floyd-collins-jeremy-jordan-opening-date-1236182896/)
Interestingly, Ms. Landau will be working with new scenic and costume designers — dots (https://playbill.com/article/how-scenic-design-team-dots-made-a-tree-grow-in-appropriate) and Anita Yavich (https://www.broadwayworld.com/washington-dc/article/Interview-Theatre-Life-with-Anita-Yavich-20241004), respectively — while retaining her original lighting (Scott Zielinski) and sound (Dan Moses Schreier) designers from the show's 1996 Playwrights Horizons premiere. Also new will be projections by Ray Sun and dance sequences by Jon Rua.
