If you have not seen this musical then try to see a performance sometime as it is very funny. And even if you are not Catholic you will enjoy the happenings at the convent and how the sisters face a disaster head on - so to speak!

Here is the wacky plot of the musical per the program notes:

It all begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook has accidentally poisoned 52 of her fellow sisters.  To raise money to complete their burials, the surviving five sisters, who were off playing bingo at the time of the disastrous meal, decide to put on a variety show.  So, the merriment beings.  There's a very definite desire to make you laugh with songs and comic interludes paced at a break-neck speed.  You'll even participate in a raucous quiz.  ((interesting prizes are given)


The five sisters are:

Sister Mary Regina

Sister Mary Hubert

Sister Robert Anne

Sister Mary Amnesia

Sister Mary Leo

We totally enjoyed the production. The Sisters were accompanied by a small combo which added even more fun to the musical.


The play was written by playwright, Dan Goggin.
