San Jose Repertory Theatre presents Souvenir, the beloved and hilarious Broadway hit based on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins. Dubbed by her critics as the "Dire Diva of Din," Jenkins enjoyed a remarkably successful concert career even though she was unburdened by talent and deliriously tone-deaf. Lost in her vision of music, her accompanist, Cosme McMoon, grows to admire, respect and even protect the diva's triumphant spirit and belief in herself.

The story of a famous singer who couldn't sing was funny and endearing. Her dedicated accompianist deserves credit for loyalty to her. The acting was great and as usual, the theater and its staff are wonderful.Written on Apr 18 2008

This is a one joke show. after you have laughed about her bad voice and her inability to hear melody or rythm, there is nothing else to sustain it. We walked out after the first act. Perhaps the second act was better, but I doubt it.Written on Apr 14 2008

Not bad. Entertaining and somewhat funny. The song at the end gave me chills. Not a WOW, but worth going to.Written on Apr 04 2008

Description
A beloved and hilarious Broadway hit that serves up friendship and admiration with the same gusto Florence Foster Jenkins did when she unleashed her enthusiastically awful arias. Dubbed by her critics as the “Dire Diva of Din,” Jenkins, a real-life socialite, enjoyed a remarkably successful concert career even though she was unburdened by talent and deliriously tone-deaf. Lost in her vision of music, her accompanist, Cosme McMoon, grows to admire, respect and even protect the diva’s triumphant spirit and belief in herself. In the end, we are forced to ask, can dedication and persistence trump a lack of talent?
