Souvenir by Stephen Temperly is coming soon to the Falcon Theatre stage! Directed by Gregg W. Brevoort, this fantasia on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins stars acclaimed opera singer Constance Hauman as ‘Florence’ and award-winning stage and screen actor Brent Schindele as her bewildered accompanist ‘Cosme McMoon’.
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. Her bizarre partnership with pianist Cosme McMoon yielded off-key recitals that earned them standing ovations and cultish fame – culminating in a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. Souvenir is a musical “odd couple” for the ages – never has so little talent given so much joy and laughter!
Previews begin January 27!
