New York City
Souvenir
This play with music by Stephen Temperley was hailed by the NY Daily News as "Hilarious and deeply touching…a loony triumph! Extraordinary!" Dubbed by her critics as the "Dire Diva of Din," Florence Foster Jenkins, a real-life socialite, enjoyed a remarkably successful concert career even though she was unburdened by talent and deliriously tone-deaf. Lost in her vision of music, her accompanist, Cosme McMoon, grows to admire, respect and even protect the diva’s triumphant spirit. Souvenir is a tribute to friendship and a salute to one woman’s unwavering belief in herself.
