SOUVENIR is a wonderful piece and deserves a healthy run. The magnificent Judy Kaye is brilliantly funny and so touching as this deluded diva. Donald Corren is her thoroughly ingratiating co-star. Please support this struggling gem and tell your friends!

I doubt if Judy Kaye ever misses any performances, but I'd love to see her stand-by, Meg Bussert, go on. Great show, though, not to be missed!

So much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart and now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine because I knew you.

I totally agree, I saw it in November and everytime I think of it I start laughing.
Please DO NOT MISS this gem - - Judy is outrageous, and Donald is fabulous
as well. Take a change of underwear - - it is really funny.

I have to throw in my 2 cents ... I saw the show at yesterday's matinee (playing to a 1/2 empty house) and I thought it was just marvelous! Don't give me that "Oh, I don't like plays" crap or "It's only 2 characters" ... There aren't many more satisfying shows on Broadway than this little gem. Judy and Donald are both MAGNIFICENT. It's funny, touching, sad, heartfelt. It's just a wonderful piece. My buddy that I went with and I are seriously considering doing this at our community theatre in the future. And since I am the only actor over 30 currently in the company that also plays the piano, guess who's going to be Cosme?!?!

I've been wanting to see this show for so long, now.

Is it doing well?

All I really want is for it to still be open when I finally make it to New York, whenever that may be.

No, its not doing well at all. though considering the simple set and the 2 person cast, I can't imagine its too much money to keep going. Its capacity and gross is along the lines of Latinolongues or In My Life. It got great reviews, i wonder why its doing so bad.

It really is sad that it's not doing well. I first learned of Florence Foster Jenkins about three years ago (at my old HS, we just know her as Florence). So when I found out about this show, I knew I just had to go see it. It was really great. I saw it by myself (because no one wanted to go with me), and I really, really enjoyed it. Judy and Donald were both incredible. It sure takes a lot of talent to be able to sing poorly.

I'm hoping to see this in the near future. My dad saw it while I saw SWEET CHARITY, and he thoght that it was EXTREMELY funny.

The first act needs work. The show can't really sustain two hours on this subject.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I saw this tonight actually.

I left at intermission. It's not that the show is bad, it's just terribly directed and as boring as hell. It's kind of humorous to see her sing off-key once. Not over and over.

The show is too campy to work. The audience is laughing WITH them instead of AT them - or atleast AT HER. It's quite honestly, terrible.

Judy Kaye is fine, but nothing worth going to sit through THAT for.

Well, act one was excrutiating so I guess I'll never know.

Another fan here as well! Got to see this show this past summer at the BTF then again in NYC. Ms Kaye is a delight, and Mr. Corren is wonderful.
