Carusone. Scott M. Robbins is producing NUNSENSE. NUNSENSE 20th ANNIVERSARY ALL-STAR TOUR features new show-stopping songs, riotous new dances, and some nunly surprises. Described by the New York Times as "Habit-forming" and by the Boston Globe as "Zany, beguiling fun!," NUNSENSE follows the madcap adventures of the Little Sisters of Hoboken as they stage a benefit revue to raise money to bury a group of nuns accidentally poisoned by their own convent chef!
