Celebrating Florence Foster Jenkins at The Rep
Eccentric Manhattan socialite Florence Foster Jenkins once declared, “People may say I can’t sing, but no one can ever say I didn’t sing.” And, oh, did she sing – often and loudly, but rarely on key. Her recitals brought her a legion of die-hard fans, and she capped her improbable career with a Carnegie Hall concert that famously sold out in two hours. "Souvenir" at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater is a charming and hilarious musical comedy that reminds us that you can achieve anything when you set your mind to it. Joining us to discuss the production are two of the actors in the show, Marguerite Willbanks and Jack Forbes Wilson. "Souvenir" runs from September 8 through November 5 at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. For more information and for tickets, call (414) 224-9490 or visit MilwaukeeRep.com.
