Glorious!

Dubbed ‘the worst singer in the world’, Glorious! is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances and decidedly off-key voice.

Glorious! follows Florence’s journey as she prepares for her concerts, builds an unlikely friendship with her accompanist, Cosme, and defies her critics to follow her dreams.

Starring Wendi Peters (Coronation Street) as Florence Foster Jenkins, this hilarious production played to rave reviews at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre and is the feel-good spring comedy we’ve been waiting for.

Glorious! is written by Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow and the movie, Judy) and directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar the Musical).

The critically acclaimed West End hit comedy will be screeching around the UK from February 2026. The tour celebrates the show's 20th anniversary. Glorious, wowed audiences in its original Olivier-nominated West End long-running production starring Maureen Lipman in 2005, before coming to the silver screen, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in what critics simply called Glorious! The show has since been seen by millions of people around the world, translated into 25 languages, and performed in 36 countries.
