It has been announced that the Hope Mill Theatre production of GLORIOUS! will tour the UK from 10 February 2026, with Wendi Peters (Coronation Street, ITV) reprising the role of Florence Foster Jenkins.
Peters starred in this hilarious production during its limited run at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre in February 2025 which received rave reviews. GLORIOUS! is the feel-good spring comedy we’ve been waiting for.
Further casting and creatives are to be announced.
Wendi Peters said: “I’m so thrilled to be visiting Florence again, and to bring GLORIOUS! to all the beautiful theatres around the UK in 2026. It’s fun, heartbreaking but, above all, glorious!!”
Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind…and possibly your eardrums.
Dubbed ‘the worst singer in the world,’ GLORIOUS! is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances, and decidedly off-key voice.
