Love "I thought I should make a musical about a nun."

That's what Nellie McKay says in this Popmatters interview when asked why she initially turned down the idea of making a musical based on the movie and book Election. (She's since acquiesced and is now working on the musical, which I can't wait to see.)
I know she's got the really obnoxiously heavy social consciousness thing going on (I read interviews with her and I wonder if it takes her fifteen minutes to weigh all the societal implications of the response before she says it), but I adore Nellie McKay. Her energy, and her relentless experimentation, is undeniably admirable. If she wants to remake the Sister Act musical, I say we let her.
