Nunsense Jamboree
Cortland Repertory Theatre, NY
Cortland Repertory Entertains with Third Nunsense
“The nuns of Nunsense don’t
disappoint in sequel. Nothing can prevent the Little Sisters of Hoboken
from entertaining. Those who cheered the first two will not be disappointed
with the third installment.”
“There are music, most of
it either bouncy or poignant, and that corn-pone habit humor.”
“Yes, the puppet returns. So does an audience-participation
contest with cheesy prizes and a sing-along tribute to the late Patsy
Cline. As always it’s nonsense, Nunsense style.”
Joan Vadeboncoeur – Syracuse Post-Standard
Nunsense Jamboree Kicks It Up (3 out of 4 stars!)
Capable Cast Brings
Country-western Spin to the Latest Nunsense Franchise
“Sister Amnesia’s Country
Western Nunsense Jamboree, now at Cortland Repertory Theatre, offers
an entertaining evening for fans of the nun musicals.”
“The show is directed and choreographed by Gary
John La Rosa. …with La Rosa’s direction, the cast engages
the audience and provides laughter, an interactive mock auction and sing
along possibilities. The cleverest of the numbers is ‘We Miss You,
Patsy Cline,’ whose lyrics string together the titles of 43 Cline
hits.”
Laurel Saiz – Post-Standard Weekend
Nunsense A Delight: CRT’s Sister Amnesia Does
A Fierce Country
“Seeing a bunch of nuns in their black-and-white
habits prancing around a stage with cowboy hats was a bit of culture
shock… But that is what the show is all about – having fun
with unlikely characters – holy nuns who happen to be embarking
on a cross country tour to promote the first album of Sister Mary Paul: ‘I
Could’ve Gone to Nashville.’ If you are not familiar with
the Nunsense series of shows, it may take a few numbers to accept the
idea. But then the delight of the CRT production takes over, with its
combination of fantastic singing, outrageous comedy by the nuns and one
priest, and the technical direction of Gary John
La Rosa, director and
choreographer, that makes it mesh all together.”
“…made apt use of every aspect of their
stage…a rollicking country jamboree. It was fun.”
“People who enjoy a fun little poke at religion
and love country music in general will especially adore the show…”
Katie Hall – Cortland Standard
