Nunsense features five valiant nuns belting, twirling and tap dancing their way to fundraising enough money to properly bury 52 recently departed sisters. Sister Julia, Child of God, the convent cook, inadvertently poisons the Little Sisters of Hoboken after serving them vichyssoise. Thus, the surviving nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – must stage a talent show in the school gymnasium to raise the money!
