The Unsinkable Molly Brown

Closed July 27, 2017

Much here is a fresh attempt to capture the personality of a fascinating figure and celebrate (musical-theatre-style) her and husband James Joseph Brown's relationship. And the show delivers a more modern and resonant Molly.

Why See The Unsinkable Molly Brown?

Musicals

Celebrating the legendary historical heroine

When the worldwide hit movie that was Titanic reached our screens, the force of nature that was Kathy Bates' character sparked a flurry into research. But few realized, if at all that the extraordinary woman was actually the subject of her own Broadway musical. Meredith Willson's 1960 musical predated Titanic by over 30 years, and pays tribute to a true American icon and symbol of endurance against the odds. A true rags-to-riches story, Molly Brown takes us through her journey from impoverished Missouri beginnings, through the Silver Boom, Gold Rush and finally onto her fateful trip aboard the Titanic.

A proto-feminist story

From a very young age, Colorado native Molly knew she wanted to be rich. Tomboyish, outspoken and strong minded, she married J.J Brown, the love of her life, after he struck it rich during the Gold Rush. As the Browns rose through society, Molly faced snobbery and derision, but rose above it all with good humor, kindness and undeniable flair to become the cherished figure that still captivates today. Revived in 2014 at The Denver Center, it delved further into Meredith Wilson's back catalogue, adding newly discovered songs to the show. Choreography comes from three time Tony Award winning Kathleen Marshall.

Tony-nominated Broadway actress Beth Malone returns to the lead role of the irrepressible Brown, following her original turn in Fun Home as Alison.
