Photos: FLOYD COLLINS Cast Celebrates Opening Night

Floyd Collins, starring Jeremy Jordan, officially opened on Broadway last night, April 21, at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. BroadwayWorld was there for the big night and you can check out photos of the cast on the red carpet below!

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. Alone but for sporadic contact with the outside world, including his brother Homer, Floyd fights for his sanity – and, ultimately, his life – as the rescue effort above explodes into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descend on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath.
