Inhaltsangabe

Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind...and possibly your eardrums. Dubbed 'the worst singer in the world', Glorious! is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances and decidedly off -key voice. Glorious! follows Florence's journey as she prepares for her concerts, builds an unlikely friendship with her accompanist, Cosme, and defies her critics to follow her dreams.

His most widely produced play is the Florence Foster Jenkins comedy Glorious!, which premiered at the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End in 2005 starring Maureen Lipman. It has since been seen by over a million people in theatres across five continents.
