Time Out says

This hit stage comedy tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite who sold out the famous Carnegie Hall in 1944 during the same week as Frank Sinatra – but here’s the kicker: she can’t even carry a tune in a bucket. In fact, Jenkins’ voice was so terrible that she gained a huge number of fans because of it, including famous artists like Cole Porter and Enrico Caruso.

A cast of professional actors will join with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong to present this adapted version of the West End play with a selection of new music. Jenkins’ story has also been immortalised on the big screen by Meryl Streep in the 2016 film Florence Foster Jenkins, and is a great inspirational tale that sometimes you just should be delusional and pursue your dreams despite it all.

Tickets to Glorious! are priced at $280 and $480, with concessions available.
