The Pope is dead. The Cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel to choose a new Pope. No one has ever seen what happens -- until now. The backbiting. The sacrilege. The hilarious song-and-dance. An over-the-top musical comedy, POPESICAL offers the message that love can be the most powerful form of faith.
