ABOUT THE SHOW
“Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical ‘anything goes’ sense of fun!” – The New York Times
Winner of the Outer Critics’ Circle awards for the best Off-Broadway musical and becoming the secondlongest running Off-Broadway show in history (after The Fantasticks), Nunsense features five survivors at the Little Sisters of Hoboken nunnery, the rest of the sisterhood having succumbed to botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia (Child of God). The sisters parade their talents at a variety show staged to raise funds so that the last four of the dearly departed can be buried. The musical score pulses with merriment and an unabashed desire to make you laugh, with songs and spontaneous comic interludes paced at break-neck speed. Nunsense offers a cornucopia of “nun” liners, “nun” puns and “nun” sequiturs for the whole family, proving conclusively that nun rhymes with fun!
Nunsense features a multi-talented cast of familiar faces including: Billy Breed, Katie Worley-Beck, Natalie Mara, Rachel Tietz and Suzy Newman. The show is directed and choreographed by John Keating (Artistic Director of The Great American Melodrama) with Musical Direction by Marshall Keating. Set Design by Dave Linfield, Costume Design by Stephanie Joseph, Lighting and Sound Design by Kevin Harris. Lupita Rodriguez is our Stage Manager.
