ASU-Beebe Theatre is proud to announce its upcoming production of the beloved 1960 musical, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," with music and lyrics by Meredith Willson and book by Richard Morris. This captivating and heartwarming show is a fictionalized account of the remarkable life of Margaret Brown, a survivor of the RMS Titanic's tragic sinking, and her journey alongside her adventurous miner-husband. Audiences will be taken on an emotional ride through the early 20th-century, where they will witness Molly Tobin's tenacious spirit and indomitable will to rise above adversity.
The tale begins with a spirited young Molly Tobin, determined to challenge societal norms and carve her own path in life. Desiring education and dreaming of marrying a wealthy man, Molly embarks on a transformative journey that leads her to the Saddle Rock saloon in Leadville, Colorado. It is here that she encounters the charming and charismatic J.J. "Leadville" Johnny Brown, whose love for Molly sets off a chain of events that will forever change their lives ("I'll Never Say No").
As the couple waltzes into Denver's high society, their newfound wealth invites both admiration and ridicule from the "Beautiful People of Denver." In pursuit of social acceptance, they embark on a European adventure, only to find that true happiness and love lie closer to home. The enchanting story unfolds against the backdrop of the RMS Titanic's fateful voyage ("Dolce Far Niente"), leading to a heart-stopping climax that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
The ASU-Beebe Theatre's rendition of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" promises to be a captivating theatrical experience for all. Under the exceptional direction of Theatre Director, Ryan Gibbons, the talented cast and crew have dedicated themselves to bringing this timeless classic to life, honoring the legacy of Margaret Brown and her incredible resilience.
