At the Beaumont, once again directed by bookwriter/co-lyricist Tina Landau, with previews beginning March 27 and opening April 21.

NYT:  A Cave Explorer Died 99 Years Ago.  Now His Story Is Broadway Bound.
              Floyd Collins, a musical about a trapped spelunker and the media circus surrounding his failed rescue, had a brief Off Broadway run in 1996.


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

Interestingly, Ms. Landau will be working with new scenic and costume designers — dots and Anita Yavich, 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.

LCT's webpage for the show now lists the cast (though not yet any of the creatives, apart from Guettel and Landau) and includes a poster image:

Tickets go on sale Thursday, December 12 at noon.

Floyd Collins is about to finish its second week of previews, and there are new production photos, videos and essays on its show page on the LCT website.  Here's a taste: 


I had tickets for the end of May, but they turned out to be the same night that Top Hat opens in NJ, so I will need to exchange or sell them and get new ones for a different date.  I might also start entering FC's ticket lottery: I have a feeling this will be one of those shows I'll really want to see more than once if possible.
