Nunsense

Unapologetically silly as ever, and strewn with groaners and bad puns (“St. Francis was a sissy”), this satire about a quintet of nuns from Hoboken putting on a fundraising talent show in a high school gym is the kind of send-up only someone heavily steeped in Catholicism could dream up. Winner of Outer Critics’ Circle awards for best musical, best book, and best music, Nunsense offers a convent full of hilarity for the whole family, proving once and for all that nun rhymes with fun. You don’t have to be Catholic to roar with laughter at the hilarious antics of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, New Jersey. Viewers of all faiths, however, will find the laughs come with little penance to be paid in this wonderful show penned by Dan Goggin.
