“This delightful and blissfully funny new play generates a rare glow of warmth and generous laughter ... This is a cult hit in the making if I ever saw one." Daily Telegraph

“A lunatically funny play…Glittering and hilarious… A comedy with a heart that will keep you very happy.” The Sunday Times

"This affable and very funny play is a real pleasure...Comically sublime.” The Guardian

This West End and world-wide hit was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award -Best New Comedy (2005) and has been seen by two million plus people across six continents.

Starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, the movie Florence Foster Jenkins inspired by the play was released to acclaim in 2016. In the 1940s, the singer everyone wanted to see perform live in New York was the enthusiastic soprano Florence Foster Jenkins - ' the first lady of the sliding scale'. Surrounding herself by devoted friends, almost as eccentric as she, this deliciously happy and delusional woman paid scant attention to her critics and would screech and warble to her audiences, most falling about with laughter.

Diana McLean as Florence (best known for The Young Doctors, Number 96 and All Saints) heads the cast of three.
