About the performance

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Dan Goggin. “Nunsense: The Mega-Musical Version” is here! All the fun of the original “Nunsense” has been super-sized! “Mega-Nunsense” starring the original five nuns also features five new (male and female) characters including the never-before-seen infamous convent cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, plus a large cast of women, men, and children! In addition there is a new song (“One Last Hope”) and two expanded dance numbers. “Nunsense”, the winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Musical was called “A hail of fun and frolic” by the New York Times. And now it’s bigger and better than ever!

Majestic’s “Nunsense” is directed and choreographed by Jennifer Sue Mallard, with musical direction by Keith Belanger.
