Helberg plays Florence's piano player and soon-to-be good friend. Together, the three of them put on a concert that nobody would ever forget.

Florence was 76 when she finally performed at Carnegie Hall.

And, by definition, they need to be able to sing. Florence Foster Jenkins had none of these attributes."— Irish Film Critic (@IrishFilmCritic) November 29, 2016
