"This is a crazily brilliant and wonderful cast," said Muny executive producer Mike Isaacson in a statement. "Dan Goggin and Matt Lenz have promised us serious nun mayhem for The Muny, and this convent contains some great, great comic actors. I can't wait to see them in this show…We’re particularly blessed that Phyllis Smith is returning to her home town to join us as Sr. Julia, Child of God…About two years ago, in a chance meeting, she told me 'I'd love to be your Mary Wickes!' How could I resist?"
