Girls, ever since my iconic experience of seeing "The Sound Of Music," for the first time, in its initial run, at the tender age of eleven, I have been aware of one salient fact--
Nuns sell tickets.
That's right. Put a nun, or even more, on stage or screen, and a hit is in the offing.
So, of course I really wanted to see "Dialogue Of The Carmelites," at The MET Opera, last Saturday. I listened to it, but that was not the same. I was hoping it would go to the theater, like "The Hours," but so far, no. Well, I can hope.
But what if The Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence--San Francisco's gay and merry band of drag nuns; an order that is just calling for me, dolls!!!!!!!!!--were to perform this? Keys would have to be changed, orchestrations transitioned, and I hope they have a good tenor role.
Imagine being prostrate like this on The MET stage! Not even Jennifer Jones, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sign me on, girls! I am ready to be an Indulgent Carmelite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to tell Sister Roma to get on this darling.
Mistress Maddie,
Oh, absolutely. I cannot wait to be a
Poulenc Carmelite.
