About This Show

Following in the footsteps of last season’s hit Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks comes this “fictional biography” of the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy society eccentric who suffered under the delusion that she was a great operatic soprano. In fact, she was completely incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune! Nevertheless, mobs of fans packed her recitals, stuffing handkerchiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter, which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers. Told through the eyes of her talented accompanist, the play is a heartfelt and funny tribute to “The Tone-Deaf Diva” who brought joy to thousands, as well as a humorous look at self-perception and the unpredictable nature of friendship!
