T
he Nunsense Vegas Revue takes the sisters on a brandnew habit-forming adventure. When a parishioner volunteers to donate $10,000 to the sisters’ school if they will perform in a club in Las Vegas, Mother Superior is hesitant to accept. However, after being convinced by the other sisters that “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” Reverend Mother agrees. What follows is the most featherfilled, sequin-studded, fan dancing, Nunsense show ever! Book, music, and lyrics by Dan Goggin. Nunsensations! features Amanda Burr as Reverend Mother, Eri Gold as Sr. Robert Anne, Georgia Smith as Sr. Amnesia, Denise Rooney as Sr. Leo and Kelly McDaniel as Sr. Hubert. Directed/ Choreographed and Costume Design by Derik Shopinski, Musical Direction by Jaci Davis. Set and Lighting Design by J.W. Layne. Promo Photo by Paul Hayashi.
