Nunsense The Musical
The Majestic Playhouse
The Majestic Playhouse
3410-A Hwy. 6 (Between Big Lots & Incredible Pizza Co.)
Broadway Bound proudly presents Nunsense The Musical. “Nunsense” tells the tale of the Little Sisters of Hoboken who, after an unsuccessful stint as leper colony missionaries, start a new life operating Mt. Saint Helen’s parochial school in Hoboken, N.J. After one of the nuns, Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally serves up a bad batch of vichyssoise, most of the Sisters of Hoboken die of botchulism. The surviving sisters bury all but four of the nuns when they run out of money. The story takes a divinely comedic turn when the nuns “cook up” a clever, if not holy, scheme to raise money to bury their remaining four sisters – preserved on ice in the storage freezer. Bottom line – It’s heavenly fun! Join 5 of the funniest woman in town! For tickets or more information please call 281-879-1055 or visit bbymt.org
