Sister Act is a divine new musical comedy which will raise the roof at the London Palladium from 7 May 2009.
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 unique disco
moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new
life into the church and community, but in doing so blows her cover.
Soon the gang are giving chase, only to find themselves up against
Deloris and the power of her new found Sister Hood.
Based on the smash-hit movie, Sister Act features a brand new score by 8 time Oscar winner Alan Menken whose credits include Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and most recently the hit movie Enchanted.
Patina Miller (Hair, Broadway) makes her West End debut as Deloris, and Sheila Hancock stars as Mother Superior.
