The highly anticipated Broadway premiere of the musical 'Floyd Collins,' directed by Tina Landau, began previews today and is set to officially open on April 21, 2025, at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in New York City.

Based on the true story of cave explorer Floyd Collins, the musical chronicles his harrowing experience of becoming trapped 200 feet underground in Sand Cave, Kentucky, in 1925, while attempting to turn the cave into a tourist attraction.

As the narrative unfolds, Floyd's child-like wonder is put to the test as he battles for his sanity and life during the intense rescue efforts.
