Nunsense

Jurij Franko, the producer of the hit musicals Mamma Mia! and Grease, and his production company Prospot have brought another global smash hit to Slovenia: the musical comedy Nunsense. Created by Dan Goggin, this wildly successful show premiered at New York’s Cherry Lane Theatre in 1985. It was an immediate hit and ran for an incredible 3,672 performances, becoming the second longest running off-Broadway show in history. Translated into more than 26 languages, it has become a phenomenon that is known throughout the world. Nunsense is the ingenious story of five nuns who find themselves in financial difficulties and decide to hold a charity event to raise money – with each of them wanting to be the star of the show. Over the course of a series of unlikely situations, the nuns reveal a different side of themselves from the one we are used to seeing. In the glare of the stage lights, with singing, dancing and laughter, each of them shines in a new and unique light. This is a show in which the whole team breathes as one and everyone will find something for themselves . . . or even discover a little piece of themselves.

Nunsense will be presented at Cankarjev dom in a special "Grand SHOW" edition, adapted for the Linhart Hall stage. On stage, top Slovenian dancers under the watchful eye of our globally recognized choreographer Matevž Česen will join the nuns for this exceptional event.

A show in which everyone will find a piece of themselves, and a team that will convince you that each of us can be a saint.
