GLORIOUS!

GLORIOUS!: The True Story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the Worst Singer in the World

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

May 15 – June 12, 2027

By Peter Quilter

Directed by Gregory Cohen

A blissfully funny comedy set in the world of 1940s New York, GLORIOUS! tells the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose pitch was far from perfect. Known as “the first lady of the sliding scale,” she warbled and screeched her way through a performance to an audience who fell down with laughter. Delusional and joyously happy, Miss Jenkins paid little attention to her critics, supported by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. But when the chance to play Carnegie Hall comes up, will it be the ultimate triumph, or proof that her vision of musical glory was only in her own mind?
