Synopsis

Nunsense (1985), with book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, is a fast-paced musical comedy that has become a firm favourite with audiences worldwide.

The story follows five of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, who find themselves in a rather unusual situation after their cook accidentally poisons the rest of the convent. With funds needed for proper burials, the remaining sisters stage a variety show to raise money — resulting in a joyful mix of comedy, music and audience interaction.

Packed with character-driven humour, musical numbers and lively staging, Nunsense is ideal for small to mid-sized casts and intimate theatre spaces.
