Whispered Prompt Podcast 110806 Sister Mary McArthur: Celebrity Nun

Sister Mary McArthur: Celebrity Nun

***

Tim McArthur is known for his interesting an varied performances but doing the entire act as a nun is definitely what some would think as unconventional. He is making the most of his alter-ego and is putting on two shows as Sister Mary McArthur. Despite the fact that the audience spend and hour watch a man prancing about on stage as a nun accompanied by a pianist dressed as a priest there are no particularly scathing religious jokes.

The links between the show songs may be a bit tedious however the giggle that you will get at the performances themselves more than makes up for it. Such classics as "Memory" from Cats and "Mama Mia" from the musical of the same name are interpreted in a unique way by McArthur who pulls off the cross dressing gag. True musical theatre connoisseur may not be overly impressed but if you want some lunchtime cabaret which doesn't take itself too seriously then this is the one for you.
