NUNSENSE Releases Commemorative 25th Anniversary Songbook

As the "Little Sisters of Hoboken" celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the international musical comedy sensation Nunsense franchise with tours and productions throughout the world, Alfred Publishing Co. has released NUNSENSE: THE 25TH NUNNIVERSARY SONGBOOK, a brand new, commemorative music folio featuring 23 classic songs from six Nunsense musicals, the book is available through specialty retailers worldwide.

Nunsense is the creation of Catholic-school-educated author/composer Dan Goggin, and follows a fictitious order of merry nuns, the "Little Sisters of Hoboken," as they put on a fund-raising show at their school, Mt. St. Helens (home of the Volcanoes). Nunsense premiered in New York City at the Cherry Lane Theater in 1986, where it won four Outer Critics' Circle Awards, including "Best Off-Broadway Musical." It transferred to the Douglas Fairbanks Theater on 42nd Street, where it ran for over 10 years, and has been presented all over the world in over 8,000 productions (and counting), grossing more than $500,000,000. During its New York run, Nunsense became the second longest running musical in Off-Broadway history, eclipsed only by legendary The Fantasticks.

Following the success of the original production of Nunsense, Dan Goggin went on to add to his franchise Nunsense 2: The Second Coming, Sister Amnesia's Country Western Nunsense Jambore, Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical, Meshuggah Nuns, Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue and Nunsense A-Men.

Representing music from Nunsense, Nunsense 2: The Second Coming, Sister Amnesia's Country Western Nunsense Jambore, Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical, Meshuggah Nuns and Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue, NUNSENSE: THE 25TH NUNNIVERSARY SONGBOOK contains the sheet music and lyrics to the following songs: "All I Want For Christmas," "The Christmas Box," "The Delta Queen," "Double or Nothin'," Every Day of the Week Is a Saturday," "Growing Up Catholic," "Holier Than Thou," "I Am Here to Stay," "I Could've

Gone to Nashville," "I Just Want to Be a Star," "I Left Him There," "If I Were a Catholic," "I'll Find a Song to Sing," "Life Is a Game of Chance," "A Long, Long Way," "A Love Like This," "My Fat Is My Fortune," "No One Cared Like You," "Nunsense Is Habit-Forming," "Play a Country Enut," "Santa Ain't Comin' to Our House," "Say It in Yiddish" and "What Would Elvis Do?"
