Florence Foster Jenkins

Thursday Mayhem 4 2PM-4PM
Hosted by Billie Joe Tolliver

Florence Foster Jenkins was a New York socialite and a reality show star before reality shows existed. Dubbed by one critic as "the world's worst opera singer," Jenkins took singing lessons her whole life and never got any better. If she were around now she'd be performing in clubs and getting lots of underground cred for keeping it real. She was an independent artist who fearlessly screeched into the hearts of those who loved her while wearing avant garde couture she created herself. This special will feature her vocal performance art and the work of her pianist Cosme McMoon.
