Show 'Glorious!'

Glorious! is a delightful comedy based on the incredible true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an eccentric millionaire from 1940s New York who, despite lacking any talent, risked her own fortune to pursue her dream of becoming a renowned opera singer. With overflowing enthusiasm and no fear of ridicule, she culminated her career with a concert at the prestigious Carnegie Hall, where her devotion to entertaining the audience with her terrible singing made her an icon of the era. Peter Quilter's play masterfully juxtaposes Florence’s ambition for her passion for music with the sweet maneuvers of her friends and family to keep her spirits high despite the criticism and laughter her off-key performances received. It's an enthusiastic comedy about the dream of success without any talent – and the power of believing in oneself above all.
