"Adam Guettel's Floyd Collins is one of my favorite musicals. It's coming to Broadway this year, which is great. And I love Sondheim, like everyone else," Jesse Eisenberg says on Soundtracking with Edith Bowman. You can hear their conversation here. You can hear the Original Cast Recording of Floyd Collins, released on Nonesuch in 1997, here. And you can get tickets to the upcoming Lincoln Center Theater production of Floyd Collins, starring Jeremy Jordan and directed by Tina Landau, here.

"he's stuck under a rock for basically the whole show" is definitely a new take on the "how to get around the fact that jeremy can't dance" problem

It was a 20 degree snowy day when I decided to go on a trip to Mammoth Cave. This was due to me assuming that a cave would be a good vacation on a winter’s day due to it staying the same temperature no matter what it was like outside. Was it still cold? Yes of course it was, especially when we first entered it was essentially a wind tunnel. My work jacket could only protect me so much. I registered for the historic tour, and if you have never been I highly recommend it as your first tour. I laced up my boots and got on my way. Our tour guide was a man full of humor but also harsh truths about the cave system. He was formerly a high school science teacher and it shows in the way that he carried himself.

On this tour I learned about the slave labor that went into carrying this cave. We learned of the low light that the slaves had to work in. I had the pleasure of getting to blow out the lantern. It was pitch black, one could not even see their hand just a few inches from their face. No one screamed thankfully, we had forewarning. We learned of the nitre and salt that was mined from the caves. We learned a little bit about how limestone is used to treat heartburn. Our group was also treated to an old gospel hymn that had been sung for years in the great cave. Our tour guide had a lovely voice as he showed us how the cave allows the voice to echo and made for a great tune.

Mammoth Cave is the world’s largest cave system and it shows. It stretches out to roughly 425 miles, and that is only the parts of the cave that are mapped. The cave has stood the test of time and has graffiti in it from all the way back in the 1700s. Back in the 18 and 1700s people would use melted animal fat and oil on a stick in order to painstakingly dot by dot paste their names onto the cave walls or even the taller ceilings.

Bands have even played in Mammoth Cave. Back in 2023 the Louisville Orchestra, featuring world renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma played in the caverns. One can only imagine how beautiful the orchestra must have sounded down there within the ever stretching maw of the cave. I for one wish that I could have seen that likely masterful performance live.

A stretch of the cave called Fat Man’s Misery was surely my misery as well, even as a man who is five foot and about a hundred pounds it was still a bit of a nightmare to get through. Our tour guide warned us that these caves were no place for people with claustrophobia and went on to quip how odd it would be for someone with that specific fear to book a tour in the first place. I had to think it odd either way it is for I and many other people to pay money to have a complete stranger take us into a dark tunnel several feet under ground.

I took a small walk on a trail where Floyd Collins got trapped near. Floyd Collins, if you are not familiar with this famous story of a caving adventure gone wrong, was a caver who was trapped in what is today called, “Sand Cave”. He got trapped in late January of 1925. The whole thing was a huge spectacle with food vendors and even bootleggers selling their wares. Collins ultimately died despite rescue efforts. I went on a small roughly quarter mile trail showcasing a few of the landmarks.

The tour itself was around two hours long and roughly a two mile walk. It was a fun experience and I look forward to doing other tours sometime as well. Overall I highly recommend a trip to Mammoth Cave. It will surely be a trip that will be unforgettable as you behold the majesty of this gigantic cave.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and please leave a comment as well. Thanks for reading.

i think we should crown Lizzy McAlpine as Queen of the JJ fans.

She's only gone and done it.
