Twenty years ago a little know musical theatre composer, Dan Goggin, created a little musical called Nunsense. A simple story about a wacky group of Nuns from the Sisters of Hoboken who return from a short trip to find the rest of the convent dead. The victims of accidental food poisoning. Being the rather talented Nuns they are the good sisters put on a variety show to raise the money needed to bury their Sisters. Nuncrackers ran for over nine years Off Broadway. Not bad for a show about dead Nuns. Well twenty years and six sequels. In this, the forth of the series, the good Sisters have built a television studio in their basement and are trying to produce their first Christmas special. Of course everything goes wrong. You were expected anything else? This also being a Raving Theatre production, things had to have an added twist. So, the parts of the Nuns will be played by men and the good Father Virgil will of course also be reverse cast. |
NUNCRACKERS
What
else could you want with singing and dancing nuns? As well as a
dozen wonderful songs from the pen of Dan Goggin, the show includes
some traditional carols in the overture and as underscoring, plus
some Christmas carol spoofs including Here We Come-a-Waffle-ing
and The Holly and The Ivory. Of course, the show is filled with
the traditional "Nunsense-sense of humour" and one liners
that have the three previous NUNSENSE shows so popular.
