The news came out even before the first wimple-wearing nun hit the stage: The entire run of "Nunsense" at the Spokane Civic was sold out.

Theater head Yvonne A.K. Johnson delivered the announcement before the opening curtain of the opening performance. This continues a remarkable run for the Civic, which also sold out "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at its Studio Theatre this month. The Civic has already sold out many other runs this season, including "Buddy" and "White Christmas."

But what about the show itself? Did "Nunsense" live up to expectations? 

Is the Reverend Mother Catholic?

Look for my full review in Sunday's Spokesman-Review.
