Nun Mania Hits New York Stages
from Around Broadway · host WQXR
The Whoopi Goldberg movie Sister Act has been made into a new Broadway musical. Rossini's Le Comte Ory, now being performed at the Met Opera, features a group of men disguised as nuns. And nuns get spoofed in every imaginable fashion in Charles Busch's new comedy The Divine Sister.

Charles Isherwood of the New York Times joins Jeff Spurgeon in the studio to find out why so many are getting back in the habit.
