A fantasia of the life of Florence Foster Jenkins
A Musical Odd Couple for the Ages.
A heartfelt, wickedly funny, true story about the limits of self-perception, Souvenir flashes back to the musical career of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite and tone-deaf diva.
As seen through the eyes of her beloved accompanist, Cosme McMoon, Souvenir is a touching and comic tribute to Ms. Jenkins’ sincerity, ambition, deep love of music and complete lack of talent — all of which brought a unique joy to thousands.
