Based on the true story of a cave explorer who was trapped underground in Kentucky in 1925, the cast will be led by Jeremy Jordan as the title character.

Meanwhile, the ensemble is formed of Sean Allan Krill as HT Carmichael, Wade McCollum as Bee Doyle, Jessica Molaskey as Miss Jane and Taylor Trensch as Skeets Miller.
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.
The creative team behind the production includes scenic design by dots, costumes by Anita Yavich, lighting by Scott Zielinski, sound by Dan Moses Schreier, and projections by Ray Sun. The dance sequences are by Jon Rua, with music direction by Ted Sperling.
Floyd Collins originally premiered n 1994 at the American Music Theater Festival in Philadelphia and later opened Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 1996, where it won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical.
Tickets for the production will go on sale on the 12th December via the Lincoln Center Theatre box office and online.
