A Musical That Has Made Millions Laugh

The Little Sisters of Hoboken are in dire need of emergency funds after a culinary disaster nearly wipes out the convent.

The nuns pull out all the stops in a fundraising variety show featuring tap dancing, habit humor, an audience quiz and a special appearance by convent cook, Sister Julia, Child of God. The clever story has an unabashed desire to make you laugh. With songs and comic interludes paced at break-neck speed, it’s a must see musical adventure!

“A hail of fun and frolic! Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical anything goes sense of fun!”— The New York Times
