"A glittering comedy with a heart" SUNDAY TIMES
"She can sing everything but notes" THE SUN (Celebrity Gossip Column, New York, 1944)
Glorious!, the worldwide stage comedy hit, is based on the hilarious but true story of New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, known as the worst singer in the world. Despite not being able to hold a note, Ms. Jenkins sings to bemused audiences with a passion that is unstoppable! She leads a delusional and joyously happy life alongside her actor boyfriend St Clair, her devoted friend Dorothy and her volatile Spanish-speaking maid Maria. Joining her eccentric inner circle is Cosme McMoon, the young pianist who must overcome his initial shock to play for her as she embarks on her triumphant concert at Carnegie Hall.
