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.”

Join Bilbo Baggins in this inventive adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale. Swept into a quest with Gandalf and a band of determined dwarves, Bilbo faces trolls, goblins, riddles, and a dragon named Smaug—with bravery he never knew he had. The Hobbit is a thrilling adventure for all ages—and a reminder that even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
