Glorious – Theatre and Buffet

Glorious! By Peter Quilter The hilarious true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the most eccentric singer in the world In 1940s New York, the performer who everyone wanted to see live was Florence Foster Jenkins. Known as“the first lady of the sliding scale,” she warbled and screeched her way through the evening to audiences who mostly fell about with laughter. But what motivated her was the love of singing, of music, and an audience! This is the spirited, comedic story of Florence and her bewildered but talented pianist—and how they packed Carnegie Hall to deliver the spirit of the music, if not the actual notes! Nominated for the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy “A delightful and blissfully funny play that generates a rare glow of warmth and generous laughter” – Daily Telegraph “A glittering comedy with a heart…lunatically funny” – Sunday Times Why This Show: This is the story of how a massively optimistic spirit inspires as well as unwittingly entertains. Florence Foster Jenkins packed Carnegie Hall, and in the process created community. I love that! She couldn’t sing, but she sang anyway. For all of us shower singers who wish we could perform for real, this is a story about someone who did just that – and it worked!
