The Guy Loves “Habits”

Blair Fell, our esteemed colleague over at BravoTV.com has a new musical. And we OUTzone dudes were able to catch one of its sold-out performances. (If you’re in town, you can scalp a ticket or wait in the cancellation line: so not all hope is lost!)

“The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun” is running at St. Clement’s Theatre in Manhattan for only six shows as part of The New York Musical Theatre Festival. It’s a showcase for new musicals.

Blair wrote the book (the words between the songs) and “additional lyrics” (show-men are so careful about credits!). The story is funny—singing nuns are funny. The show is damn sad, too, though. This nun’s habit involves pills and alcohol, closeted lesbianism and delusions of, well, let’s just call them delusions.

All in all, we laugh and cried. No, actually we didn’t cry. We mostly laughed.
