Musical Accompaniment by Chris Schlagel
The show takes a simple melodrama plot (landlord wants his rent; girl can't pay the rent; matron offers advice; hero pays rent) and presents it 5 times in the styles of famous composers. We get one from Rogers and Hammerstein (Corn!), Stephen Sondheim (A Little Complex), Jerry Herman (Dear Abby), Andrew Loyd Webber (Aspects of Junita), and Kander and Ebb (Speakeasy). The show is superbly well written. Any one who knows the composers will recognize the sound of the music, and those who don't will get the jokes making fun of general theatre. It is a wonderful show for all audiences!
CAST:
Troy Thomas - the rent hungry Jitter
Ryan Adame - the Hero Bill
Jenna Cook - the rent strapped June
Erin Renfree - the advice-giving Abby
Ashlie Cimero, Michael Coleman, Yuri Tajiri fill out the Chorus

By the end of the play, Arthur that learned that girls can be very clever.

Show Summary
Nunsense II: The Second Coming could easily be subtitled "the rest of the story". The sequel to the international hit musical NUNSENSE takes place approximately six weeks after the first "benefit performance." The same five nuns are back on stage at Mt. Saint Helen's School for what is billed as a "Thank You Program' for their supporters. This time they are forced to work around the set dressing of "The Mikado" which is presented the following week by the Hoboken Music Society on the Mt. Saint Helen's Stage. Trouble brews when Sister Mary Paul and her prize money are claimed by a bunch of Franciscans.
