*Nunsense* photos (and 2003 review)

Nunsense opens Friday night at the Civic and runs through March 6, but hurry and call 325-2507 or (800) 325-SEAT soon, because it's already nearly sold out.

Bobo will have a preview in the print Inlander on Thursday. 

In the meantime, how about a review that appears even before the production has opened? (Wait, that's what they're doing in New York with that Spider-Man musical.) Amuse yourself instead with a review, written by some hack, of the 2003 Nunsense at the Civic.

*Nuncrackers* at Shuler Auditorium, Dec. 18-20

Following the success of *White Christmas* back when it was snowing around here, CdA Summer Theater is putting on its second Yuletide fund-raiser at NIC for two nights and a matinee. Visit cdasummertheatre.com.
Dan Goggin's musical makes "Nunsense" of Christmas. (Ha! Humor!) It's the third of five sequels to the original, which appeared in 1985. The Little Sisters of Hoboken decide to fund-raise by putting on a musical for their local public-access channel, leading to a spoof of Tchaikovsky's *Nutcracker* and to songs like "Jesus Was Born in Brooklyn."
