We are so proud to announce that Grants Pass High School has been selected as 1 of 16 schools across the country to receive The Unsinkable Molly Brown grant! Our show will be among the very first productions of the newly revised version of this 1960 musical.
The Unsinkable Molly Brown tells the rags-to-riches story of Margaret “Call Me Molly” Brown, a turn-of-the-century hero of the underdog, philanthropist, entrepreneur, mother, champion of women’s rights, fighter for labor rights, advocate of immigration reform, and, most famously, survivor of the Titanic.
The show features music and lyrics by the incomparable Meredith Willson (The Music Man), and an updated book by Tony-nominated author Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie) based on the original book by Richard Henry Morris.
In this spirited tale of a legendary American original, we follow the exploits of Margaret "Molly" Tobin Brown, a miner's wife in Leadville, Colorado who becomes an overnight millionaire with her equally feisty husband J.J. But high society is no match for Molly. As she turns the upper crust of Denver upside down, stands with the miners of Leadville, traverses Europe, and famously survives the Titanic, Molly proves her mettle wherever she goes. From rags to riches, Molly Brown tackled big issues and looked out for the little guy, using her personality, platform, and resources to "Share the Luck."
Funny, light, uplifting and uniquely American, The Unsinkable Molly Brown charmed Broadway and Hollywood with its irresistible, outrageous title role and won over new audiences with this revised version when it premiered in 2020.
