WBT Presents 'MESHUGGAH-NUNS'- The Ecumenical Nunsense

Westchester Broadway Theater is Proud To Present Dan Goggin's 'MESHUGGAH-NUNS!' The Ecumenical Nunsense. February 12 - MARCH 21, 2009 Book, Music, Lyrics & Direction by Dan Goggin With the ?Nunsense' shows, the creator, Danny Goggin, has lifted the human spirit as he has made millions laugh. Meshuggah-Nuns, is the fifth variation in the popular 'Nunsense' series. For the last 26 years, the Little Sisters of Hoboken have entertained audiences in theatres around the globe, making 'Nunsense' an international household name. Meshuggah-Nuns, has The Sisters aboard the ship Golden Delicious on a 'Faiths of All Nations' cruise. Due to rough seas, the actors of the onboard musical, Fiddler On The Roof, succumb to sea sickness. Miraculously, the nuns survive the rolling waters unscathed, after Sister Julia put Dramamine in the brownies! The ship's captain, knowing of the Sisters' show-business savvy, urges them to concoct a variety show with Howard, who plays Tevye, the only actor who still has his Sea Legs. The four singing nuns now become an ecumenical, co-educational quintet. The show has a variety of music, with songs ranging in style from pop to country to gospel blues. Many of the jokes are delivered in the Laugh- In comedy format. There are sing-alongs, and even a puppet named Sister Mary Annette who performs a saucy Mae West number. It promises to be a laugh-filled funfest, with a mix of musical madcap, sprinkled with saintly sight gags and ubiquitous jokes. From the rousing opening number, 'Anchors Aweigh', to the hysterical, 'Say it in Yiddish', and 'Matzo Man,' to the touching, 'A Love Like This', the show will lift your spirits. It is a sweet natured celebration of Catholic and Jewish traditions. (more...)

FLASH FRIDAY: ANYTHING GOES Any Which Way

Today, as a corollary column to this week's rave SOUND OFF review of the brand new 2011 cast recording of the revival of ANYTHING GOES starring Sutton Foster and Joel Grey, playing on Broadway eight times a week at the Stephen Sondheim Theater, we have a host of clips from the various versions of Cole Porter's finest score and many examples of the countless iterations of the show that have been performed since its Broadway premiere in 1934 at the Alvin Theater (now the Neil Simon), originally starring the legendary Ethel Merman. With clips from the 1936, 1954 and 1956 film versions, as well as plenty of performance footage from the many revivals over the years - as well as a few surprises - we cover anything and everything ANYTHING GOES and trace its path over the years every which way it has gone. Patti LuPone to Leslie Uggams to Elaine Paige to Sally Ann Triplett to Sutton Foster; Frank Sinatra and Bert Lahr to Howard McGillen to John Barrowman to Joel Grey and Colin Donnell and far beyond - today's FLASH FRIDAY is simply - well - the tip-top!
