MUSICAL COMEDY


   

Nunsense follows the musically hilarious misadventures of the Little Sisters of Hoboken at Mount Saint Helen's School in Hoboken, New Jersey.  Originally founded as a missionary order, they started out running a leper colony on an island south of France.  Forced to leave the island when they lost control to a group of Protestant competitors, they returned to Hoboken.

They went unnoticed until one day their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, unwittingly served some tainted vichyssoise soup and 52 sisters died of botulism.  Fortunately a few of the sisters were off playing bingo with some Maryknolls and so were spared.  Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision -- it was either Saint Catherine of Siena or Saint Thomas Aquinas in drag (she's not sure) -- in which she was told to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials of the 52.

The greeting cards were an enormous success and thinking there was plenty of money, Reverend Mother bought a VCR for the convent.  When she realized there was only enough money left to bury 48, she decided to stage a talent show to raise the money to bury the last four sisters who were put on ice in the convent deep freeze.  The fun is only just beginning when these crazy nuns take over!
