The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun: Tells the dark, dangerous and hilarious Musical story of the ill-fated nun who sang the Grammy-winning 60�s hit �Dominique-Nique-Nique�. Told through the eyes of a Nun named Sister Coco Callmeishmael, The�Singing Nun gazes through a pop-culture prism, pulling every candy-colored piece of Catholic Camp � with a phenomenal score -- to recount Sister Smile�s uproariously funny, but ultimately tragic story of sky-rocketing fame and meteoric decline. Tragic? Yes! Irreverent? Absolutely. Completely True? (sort of)!
