MIOpera presents Nunsense the Musical
Join the Little Sisters of Normal First convent as they stage a benefit performance to raise money for their ailing convent. Get ready for a hysterical evening of slapstick comedy, witty dialogue, and musical numbers that are both comedic and heartfelt. You are sure to be moved by the power of the holy spirit! They need your help!
“Nunsense” follows the crazy antics of 11 nuns from the Normal First Convent. When their cook accidentally serves up some tainted soup, 52 of the sisters are poisoned and die, leaving only 11 living nuns who were not at home the day of the toxic meal. When the convent’s first in charge, Reverend Mother Regina, splurges on new iPhones and iPads for the sisters they find themselves strapped for cash, as they still have four dead nuns to bury (whose bodies are being stored in the kitchen freezer!) The nuns decide to put on a benefit performance in order to raise the rest of the money before the Normal Health Department discovers their secret!
