Souvenir

By Stephen Temperley

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

2008-2009 Studio series
March 11, 2009–March 29, 2009

The Story

Eccentric socialite Florence Foster Jenkins believed herself a naturally gifted coloratura soprano, when in fact she couldn’t sing a note in tune. But with an indomitable zest for music and with her reluctant accompanist Cosme McMoon in tow, she went from drawing room charity concerts to a sold-out Carnegie Hall concert, all the while oblivious to the audiences rolling in the aisles. A warm-hearted, uproarious and poignant true story about the ultimate musical odd couple.
