Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins

Souvenir is an award-winning play with music that tells the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite and opera singer with a notoriously poor sense of pitch, and her long-suffering accompanist, Cosmé McMoon. The show, which features both jazz and classical music, is told from Cosmé’s perspective, chronicling their relationship from their first meeting in the 1930s to Jenkins’s final, sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. The story balances comedy and drama as Cosmé grapples with telling the famous singer the truth about her lack of talent.
