Glorious!

The true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the worst singer in the world…

By Peter Quilter

 

Known as the “first lady of the sliding scale”, Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944) was a gregarious socialite who became a must-see performer in the 1940’s.  The appalling becomes appealing in ‘Glorious!”, the new Olivier-nominated comedy that chronicles her rise to the pinnacle of a sold-out Carnegie Hall.

 

An outrageous cast of supporting characters fill this hilarious new comedy, but none can outshine the great ‘Diva of din’.  Florence’s supporters (and enablers) help the mistaken soprano in her mission of bringing music to the masses.  Convinced she had the operatic voice of an angel, Ms. Jenkins’ joy and enthusiasm made up for the fact that she couldn’t hit a single note- NOT A SINGLE NOTE…

 

“A huge hilarious surprise...delightful and heart-warming... ‘Glorious!’ is aptly named.”    – TheatreWire

 

“A lunatically funny comedy…”

Rated PG.   Warning: ‘Glorious!’ contains very bad singing.
