Synopsis

The show opens to "Nunsense, the Magic Word" and then there is a high-speed 
recapitulation of what happened during the Nuns' first show. This is narrated 
by Sister Mary Hubert and acted out in silent-film-style by Sisters Robert 
Anne, Mary Paul (Amnesia) and Merry Leo (a novice whose ambition is to the the 
first nun ballerina), this is capped off by the upbeat "Winning is Just the 
Beginning".

The program proceeds with Sister Mary Paul (known as Amnesia ever since a 
crucifix hit her on the head and she lost her memory) running a bingo game in 
which something goes wrong and the entire audience wins at once.

The variety show continues with Sister Mary Leo (now on roller skates) and the 
other nuns performing "The Biggest Still Ain't Best".

Reverend Mother considers everything is going well and introduces Sister Mary 
Paul in sequined scapular and cowboy boots as the newest country-singing 
sensation. The telephone rings. Sister Mary Leo answers and discovers that the 
Franciscans are on their way to the convent to claim Sister Mary Paul as one of 
their own!

Sister Robert Anne tries to reason with the Franciscans. Reverend Mother 
regales the audience with tales of her days in the circus, followed by the rest 
of the nuns as they perform "The Padre Polka", a please for women priests.

To try and briefly describe the action in the second half of the program would 
try the patience of any Reverend Mother but after numbers such as "We're the 
Nuns to Come When You Go", "What Would Elvis Do?", "I Am Here To Stay", "What a 
Catastrophe", "No One Cared Like You" and the rousing gospel finale "There's 
Only One Way To End Your Prayers" along with possible nun-napping, theft, 
impersonation and other riotous mayhem, the show comes to an hilarious 
conclusion.
