The Unsinkable Molly Brown

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, The Pickwick Players will present The Unsinkable Molly Brown as a live stage show in Loudoun County this November and December with five fun-filled performances at Belmont Ridge Middle School in the Lansdowne area of Leesburg, VA.  This light-hearted musical comedy will be performed on Friday, November 30th at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, December 1st at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Friday, December 7th at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, December 8th at 7:30 p.m.  Tickets are available for purchase online through PayPal (for a $1/ticket discount) at www.thepickwickplayers.org or at the door.  

This spirited tale of a legendary, real-life American original follows the exploits of Molly Brown, whose feisty determination to rise above her impoverished beginnings leads her from the backwoods of Hannibal, Missouri, to the palaces of Europe. Along the way, she marries a lucky prospector, enters the highest echelons of Monte Carlo society, survives the sinking of the Titanic and, most importantly, earns the approval she so desperately seeks of those “Beautiful People of Denver.” 

Funny, light, uplifting and uniquely American, The Unsinkable Molly Brown charmed Broadway and film audiences with its irresistible, outrageous title role, in the tradition of such unforgettable characters as Auntie Mame, Dolly Levi and Mama Rose.

Featuring over thirty local children, teens, and adults, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is a show the whole family can enjoy featuring performances to crowd-pleasing songs, such as “I Ain't Down Yet” and “Belly Up to the Bar Boys.”
