Book, Music and Lyrics by DAN GOGGIN

SEPTEMBER 12-14, 18-21, 25-27 | 2008

MAIN STAGE | This award-winning musical comedy opens when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook accidentally, and fatally, poisoned 52 of their members. The characters – a former circus performer, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn, a novice who wants to be a ballerina, a very wacky Sister, and the Mistress of Novices – plan a variety show to raise money for the burials. The fun includes tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises.

Nunsense has become an international success, with over 5,000 productions worldwide, in 21 languages. It has won four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off-Broadway Musical in its original New York production.
