It’s 1925 in Kentucky and fearless cave explorer Floyd
Collins dreams of finding fame and fortune deep underground. When he
becomes trapped, it’s a race against time for his family and friends as they
fight to set him free. The media circus above ground turns their extraordinary
rescue effort into a national sensation. Floyd’s determination will inspire the
whole community…

Plunge into another world and another time with this exceptional musical, brought to life within the hallowed walls and atmosphere of Wilton’s.
♫ The Sand Cave Crickets will be performing in the cocktail bar every night before the show and in the interval.
