Starring Maureen Lipman
(Thoroughly Modern Millie,Oklahoma)
Glorious tells the true story of the eccentric
American, Florence Foster Jenkins. During the 1930s and
‘40s , the “socialite soprano”, made a career out of
concerts, although the somewhat delusional singer
couldn't hit a single note.
Florence Foster Jenkins became known as 'the first lady
of the sliding scale' - she warbled and screeched her
way through concerts to an audience who mostly fell
about with laughter. But this delusional and joyously
happy woman paid little attention to her critics,
instead Florence was surrounded by a circle of devoted
friends who were almost as eccentric as she was.
"People may say that I cannot sing, But no one can
say that I didn't sing!" Florence Foster Jenkins
