MUD! The Mud Wrestling Musical

MUD! The Mud Wrestling Musical
MUD! Is the first Mud Wrestling musical ever produced in New York City. This diverse cast of dancers, burlesque stars, singers and physical theater performers comes together to play out the story of a conflicted nun, who in her struggle to rescue her dilapidated church, finds herself entrenched in the seedy underbelly of mud wrestling, sex and a radical exploration of real faith. MUD! is a coming of age comedy of devotion, love, and getting a little dirty for what you believe in. Within the run-down walls of St. John's Church, in the midst of a tropical Midwest storm - a single prayer of a desperate nun is answered when Sister Mary Clarence is blessed with a stunning fundraising coach, Raina (who has an agenda all her own). In Sister Mary Clarence's desperation to save the infrastructure and restore her congregation she accepts Raina's unorthodox funding strategy - a good old fashioned mud wrestling competition. MUD will soar ….don’t worry audience, mud guards provided!
