About ‘Floyd Collins’

The musical explores the media frenzy and attempted rescue that followed his entrapment.
The Lincoln Center Theater’s production of the show has garnered attention for its unique storytelling approach and emotional depth. Gasteyer’s mention of the production suggests she may have recently attended a performance or has some connection to the show.
