Written by Peter Quilter directed by Daniel Pasker, is the story of the joyful Florence Foster Jenkins, who had a passion for singing, but a voice of disastrous proportions which left audiences crying with laughter. Spinning from her bizarre recording sessions, unbelievable recitals and an ultimate triumph at New York's Carnegie Hall - this is a true, heart-warming story about a group of eccentric friends who lived their dreams. The triumphant West End production starred Maureen Lipman and was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award as Best New Comedy.

Available Roles Include:

Florence Foster Jenkins - Eccentric American Lady 40s - 60s, accomplished singer.

Cosme McMoon - Early 30s, excellent pianist.

St. Clair - Florence's English boyfriend 40s - 60s, frazzled and overweight and bursting at the seams with loud theatricality.

Dorothy - Florence's friend 40s - 60s, ditsy.

Maria - Florence and St. Clair's Mexican cook and housemaid, speaks Spanish, sarcastic.

Mrs. Verrinder-Gedge - American late middle age, bullish and feisty.
