Based on a true story, “Floyd Collins” takes us to rural Kentucky in 1925, where a local cave explorer seeks to fulfill his dream of discovering a tourist attraction. When he becomes trapped in “Sand Cave” and a rescue is attempted, Floyd and his community are catapulted into the public eye as a nation-wide media circus descends. Composer/lyricist Adam Guettel merges musical theatre style with folk and bluegrass, contrasting the unadorned lives of the Collins family with the brash intrusion of the world that suddenly envelops them.
