522: Floyd Collins

from MusicalTalk - The UK's Independent Musical Theatre Podcast · host MusicalTalk

Join Tim and Thos as they discuss the haunting and original 1996 Adam Guettel musical based on the true story of tragic pot-holer, Floyd Collins, in Kentucky 1925, who inadvertently finds fame when he becomes the eye of a media storm by getting stuck in a cave. Find out what makes this show so unusual and musically exciting with influences from Bartok, Stravinski, Copland and perhaps Gershwin (or not!). Oh what a media circus!
