The NYMF musical The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun ran from September 14th through September 22nd at St. Clements Theatre (West 46th Street).
The show told "the story of the ill-fated nun who sang the Grammy-winning 60's hit 'Dominique-Nique-Nique.' Told through the eyes of a Nun named Sister Coco Callmeishmael, …the singing nun gazes through a pop-culture prism, pulling every candy-colored piece of Catholic Camp – with a phenomenal score -- to recount Sister Smile's hilariously funny, but ultimately tragic story of sky-rocketing fame and meteoric decline. Though based on a true story, the show takes a few liberties with reality – but always in the name of fun," according to press notes.
The cast of The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun included Eileen Stevens, Kristen Beil (Godspell, Titanic), Randy Blair (Dangerous Beauty, Behind the Limelight), Kristine Zbornik (Mamma Mia!, Splendora), Stephen Michael Rondel (Sideways Stories From Wayside School, Once Upon a Mattress), Michael Hunsaker (Ragtime, Chess), Laura Daniel (Lucky Stiff, Little Shop of Horrors) and Tracey Gilbert (Paradise, Burning Habits). The book as well as additional lyrics for …the Singing Nun are written by Blair Fell, who wrote the play of the same name upon which the musical is based. Fell is also the author of the cult hit Burning Habits. The composer and lyricist is Andy Monroe (The Life and Times of Joe Jefferson Benjamin Blow). Michael Schiralli directed.
