| Glorious | Glorious Theatre tickets from London Ticket Web | Glorious Based on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, Glorious! tells the true story of the eccentric American otherwise known as the "socialite soprano". During the 1930s and '40s, the somewhat delusional singer made a career out of doing concerts, although she couldn't hit a single note. The "dire diva of din" recorded many records, including one entitled Murder on the High Cs and perhaps her most famous recording of Mozart's Queen of the Night aria. After doing a series of private concerts at the Ritz Carlton in New York, the singer braved Carnegie Hall - and sold out months in advance.
Starring Maureen Lipman. |

| | What's New | Glorious is a Comedy Play by Peter Quilter. Directed by Alan Strachan. |
| Theatre Review | Glorious Lipman has never been better, funnier, sharper, stronger, or more touching. Go and enjoy her... Florence and Maureen are irresistible.
The Daily Express I initially feared that Glorious! might prove a tedious one joke show, but it actually generates a rare glow of warmth and generous laughter.
The Daily Telegraph Alan Strachan's good-natured production wields some glorious performances. William Oxborrow, in particular, is excellent as McMoon. And Maureen Lipman is magnificent as the would-be diva, conveying her extraordinary spirit and mis-hitting notes with delirious panache.
