Glorious! The True Story of Florence Foster - Jenkins

The Worst Singer in the World

 By Peter Quilter

​

Glorious! is a joyous and heart-warming comedy play based on the real life of 1940's New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins who had a passion for singing but a voice for disaster.

Considered by many to be "The worst singer in the world" & "The First Lady of the sliding scale", she gave private recitals to fans, including Cole Porter, made bizarre recordings and gave a legendary sold out performance at New York's Carnegie Hall at the age of 76.

​

This delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics, instead she surrounded herself with a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. It's a story about friends who embraced their delusions and had courage enough to follow their dreams, no matter what.
