FLOYD COLLINS general length

Hello all,

I'm seeing a local production of FLOYD COLLINS tomorrow afternoon and am wondering in general how long the show is? Is it more a 2hr15m or 2.5hr or closer to 3hr? I know of course the actual runtime depends on the production but if anyone has any info to share it would be really appreciated!

Yes indeed it is! I'm excited, they always seem to get very talented people. Never seen the show though.

I'm curious about runtime because the bus I need to take only runs every 50 minutes on Sunday and if the show isn't done by 4:30 I'll have to wait close to an hour until the next trip.

This review of a regional production says it was 2:30

Don't be too envious, due to an unforeseen circumstance I have to miss the show.

Perhaps I will try to see it next weekend if I can. I was very much looking forward to it!

Someone in a Tree2, twisting the dagger there!

LOVED that production of Piazza too. I've seen their last three productions and thought they were all outstanding. And most of their actors aren't even Equity.

I was finally able to see it Thursday night, and am definitely glad I did. I had heard the score before but it resonated (literally and figuratively haha) much better seeing it live. Many many talented people in the cast and the set made up of ladders actually worked quite well.

As for runtime, it was more than 2.5 hours but only a bit.

This show has to make a return to New York sometime soon. I feel like when Guettel finally premieres a new piece it should come to Encores! or at least Off-Center. Can you believe its been over a decade since he premiered a new show? Fortunately I believe Millions will have its world premiere at the Signature Theatre next year if I've read correctly.

But yeah, Floyd is in my top 5 favourite theatre scores of all time. I have to see it staged one day.

Ah Growl your are missing out! I do wish they used a space that was less out of the way though.

Part of me wishes someone had bothered to preserve the architectural detail of the very first Carnegie Hall, but it's current state with the exposed brick is actually pretty unique and interesting.

You've all convinced me! I'll look into it for tomorrow!
