NUNSENSE
Sister Mary Regina (Mother Superior) - 40s to 60s; Mezzo/Belter; Head of the convent, respected greatly by the sisters. While strict she has a hard time keeping the craziness of the convent at bay. Keeps her guard up in front of the sisters but has an extroverted side. Part requires some very physical humor.
Sister Mary Hubert - 40s to 60s; Mezzo/Belter; She is in charge of the novices but fancies herself a Mother Superior & is in constant competition with Mary Regina. She exudes maternal wisdom to the novices but also likes to let loose. Gospel singing style a plus.
Sister Robert Anne - 30s to 40; Mezzo/Belter; Once child delinquent herself, this rough tough nun is jokester & constantly challenging authority. She speaks with a Brooklyn accent & constantly displays her lack of refinement.
Sister Mary Amnesia - 20s to 30s; Soprano/Belter; As the name suggests, she has lost her memory & does not know who she is except that she is a nun. She is spacey & incoherent, often slipping into displays inappropriate for a nun. Able to sing in classical & country styles.
Sister Mary Leo - 20s to early 30s; Mezzo/Belter; The novice nun, still learning the way & coming to terms with her decision to give up “civilian life”. She is a ballerina & displays her talents through much of the show. She is easily swayed to join in the mischief.
