Now the hilarious true story of the world's worst opera singer heads to the Brisbane stage in Glorious!
Never one to let a little thing like zero singing ability get her down, happy-go-lucky Florence warbled on pursuing her dreams.
Despite - or, perhaps, because of - her delusions, she became a cult figure among celebrities and the city's elite for her unceasing optimism and endearing personality.
The new Australian production of Peter Quilter's West End hit stars Diana McLean (The Young Doctors, Neighbours) in the title role alongside Felicity Soper and Mitchell Roberts.
Glorious! is at Brisbane's QUT Gardens Theatre on September 12 (7.30pm), and September 13 (11am and 7.30pm).
Tickets are $46 full price, $40 concession, $35 pensioners and full-time students.
We have five double passes to give away to the 11am matinee performance on September 13 the QUT Gardens Theatre.
