Now running at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, “Floyd Collins” is based on the true story of a cave explorer in Kentucky, 1925. While chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning Sand Cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself becomes the attraction when he gets trapped 200 feet underground. First produced off-Broadway in 1996, the Broadway production opens April 21.
