The Unsinkable Molly Brown, In Concert

Shoeless, dirty and spunky, young Molly Tobin is the only daughter of a penniless Irish immigrant in Hannibal, Missouri - but she dreams of gold and fame. Stuck on those dreams, at first she refuses to marry lucky prospector Johnny Leadville" Brown. But once she does, they strike it rich, and her dreams seem closer than ever. But uneducated and untrained, the indefatigable Molly Brown can't find acceptance in the society circles of wealthy Denver. Her hunt for acceptance leads her to the terraces of Monte Carlo, where she wins popularity but loses Johnny. He takes off for home, leaving Molly to the attentions of a slick nobleman. Realizing that it's Johnny she wants after all, she sails after him - on the doomed Titanic. But it takes more than an iceberg to get in Molly's way once she's made her mind up.

APPLAUSE! Musicals In Concert has been presenting concert ("scripts in hand") presentations of musicals since 1997. The focus is on the music, and not on the sets, lights and costumes which often are part of a larger musical theatre production. Concerts also take place in an intimate venue so the audience can hear and experience the show up close.
