‘Floyd Collins’ Broadway Review: Jeremy Jordan Gives Life To Dark Tale Unearthed From History
Deadline's review of Broadway's 'Floyd Collins.'
There’s a lovely number called “The Dream” in which the supine Floyd rises and walks to find his family, friends and even Skeet the reporter, with whom he has developed a sweet relationship that is left open to interpretation, all dressed in white save the dusty, mud-covered man of the hour (Anita Yavich did the era-accurate costumes). Kudisch and Molaskey are very affecting as the distraught parents pushed to their limits, and Sean Allan Krill as the out-of-town big shot engineer who comes to save the day gives a insightful performance that begins with hubris, moves through genuine attachment and ends with, well, defeat. McAlpine, who has built a very successful career as an indie pop singer-songwriter, makes an impressive Broadway debut here, singing the bluegrass-infused number “Lucky” – one of the prettiest songs – in a crystalline mid-range that hints at Appalachian roots music while standing firm on the theater stage.
