Glorious!
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” and “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.
