The true story of 'the worst singer in the world'...
Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind… and possibly your eardrums.
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.
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.
Starring Wendi Peters (Coronation Street) as Florence Foster Jenkins and Matthew James Morrison (EastEnders), as Cosme McMoon, this 20th anniversary production played to rave reviews at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre and is the feel-good comedy audiences have been waiting for.
Glorious! wowed audiences in its original Olivier-nominated West End long-running production starring Maureen Lipman in 2005, before coming to the silver screen, in a film starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant. The show has since been seen by millions of people around the world, translated into 25 languages, and performed in 36 countries.
Glorious! is written by Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow and the Oscar-winning film, Judy) and directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar: The Musical).
