“There are people who say I cannot sing! But…no one who can say I didn’t sing!” The incredibly talentless Florence Foster Jenkins can’t sing a note. In fact, she screeches and squawks. But not even her harshest critics can stop Florence from pursuing her love of music—or from selling out Carnegie Hall! Contagiously funny Nicola Cavendish stars as the gloriously tone-deaf diva whose innocence and unshakable confidence is “a symbol to all those who dreamed but never dared.”

“A hoot and a holler and a joyous romp from start to finish” —Theatre Guide London
