If you experienced the side~splitting humor of the earlier production of the musical 'Nunsense', then get ready for the laughs~a~minute ... NUNCRACKERS
The Nunsense Christmas Musical, NUNCRACKERS, takes place in the basement of Mount Saint Helen's Convent. The show is the annual Christmas program put on by the sisters. It is the first TV special being taped in the Cable Access Studio built by Reverend Mother with part of the prize money won earlier by Sister Mary Paul (aka Amnesia). A live Camera with two television monitors is used to create an actual TV Studio feeling for the audience.
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 humor" and one liners that have made the three previous NUNSENSE shows so popular.
