| Further Information |
Journey to Floyd’s Sand Cave in this all-new evocative production of Adam Guettel and Tina Landau’s award-winning musical. Based on a true story, the tale of Floyd Collins is told in the style of an open, honest folk-opera and illustrated by a hauntingly beautiful score that evokes a heady, Bourbon-laced blend of Bluegrass, Copland and Stravinski with a dash of Gershwin.
