SHOW SYNOPSIS
Set in Colorado at the turn of the twentieth century, this spirited tale chronicles the adventures of
Margaret “Molly” Tobin Brown, whose life is transformed overnight when she and her equally
formidable husband, J.J., strike it rich. This revitalized version shows Molly as she really was- vibrant,
progressive, and ready to fight for the underdog as a champion of women's rights, labor rights, and
immigration reform.  The most famous survivor of the Titanic, Molly Brown proves her grit wherever
she goes, helping others to prosper along the way.
