 Dan
Goggin came to New York from Alma, Michigan, to study as a classical
countertenor. He began his career singing in the Broadway production of
Luther, starring Albert Finney.
While appearing in a comic folk-duo called The
Saxons, he began writing. This led to scores for the off-Broadway
musical Hark! (in which he also appeared), Broadway’s Legend,
and two revues.
Goggin received the 1986 Outer Critics’ Circle
awards given to Nunsense for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best
Music. His “nunless” musical Balancing Act has toured the U.S. and
played in London and Australia.
Nunsense and Nunsense 2: The Second Coming,
both starring Rue McClanahan, have been recorded for the A&E Television
Network. Nunsense 3: The Jamboree toured the U.S. starring Georgia
Engel and has been recorded for television at the Grand Ole Opry starring
Vicki Lawrence. Nunsense A-Men! opened at the 47th Street Theatre in
New York in June 1998 and has since been produced with Laugh-In’s
Arte Johnson, impressionist Frank Gorshin, and Olympic champion Greg
Louganis. Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical premiered in
October 1998, followed by a national tour starring Dody Goodman, Jeff
Trachta and Dawn Wells. The Nuncrackers television special playing
on the PBS network starring Rue McClanahan with guest star John Ritter
received an Emmy nomination for Best Musical Score. Meshuggah-Nuns! The
Ecumenical Nunsense premiered in September 2002 and is currently playing
in several U.S. venues. The all-star touring production of Nunsense
starring Kaye Ballard, Georgia Engel, Mimi Hines, Darlene Love, and Lee
Meriwether marked the 20th anniversary of the original show. In 2004, Dan’s
“serious piece,” The Traditional Latin Mass, was recorded by cast
members and friends. His latest Nunsense creation, Nunsensations!
The Nunsense Vegas Revue opened in Minneapolis in 2005.
