When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won’t be found – a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco-ness and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so blows her cover.
Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but she finds salvation in the heavenly power of her newly found sisterhood. Based on the mega-hit feature film, SISTER ACT features an original Alan Menken/Glenn Slater score with a vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.
SISTER ACT features scenery by Klara Zieglerova, costumes by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Natasha Katz and sound by John Shivers. The music department includes Musical Supervisor Michael Kosarin, Music Director Brent-Alan Huffman and orchestrations by Doug Besterman.
Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Post calls SISTER ACT, “One of the season’s happiest
surprises! Off the charts and packed with goodies, to which we say: Amen!” Joe Dziemianowicz of
New York Daily News raves “A blessed event has landed on Broadway. Sister Act is a feel-good
crowd pleaser worth celebrating. It keeps on purring from one happy moment to the next.”
Charles Isherwood of The New York Times says, “When the wimples start quivering and the nuns
start rocking to raise the Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musical comedy!” and Mark
Kennedy of The Associated Press calls SISTER ACT, “In a word, divine. This is a musical that hits all
the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you.”
