SOUVENIR: A FANTASIA ON THE LIFE OF FLORENCE JENKINS

Judy Kaye as Florence Foster Jenkins

Jack Lee as Cosme McCoon

"Veteran Broadway musical director Jack Lee portrays Cosme McCoon, the long-suffering accompanist who worked with Jenkins through a series of vocal recitals in the 1940s. Jenkins was so hopelessly off-pitch that audiences came to laugh—and she blithely heard nothing but approval in their camp-inspired applause. Lee’s piano accompaniment is flawless, and he brings real charm to McCoon’s moments of exasperation with his tone deaf singer...Lee is a great talent, no question, and it is never easy to find a gifted accompanist who can also act."
