About the Show
Based on the 1992 Touchstone Pictures hit film, Sister Act is a joyous, feel-good musical comedy, featuring original music by EGOT-winning composer Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors). When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she's sent into hiding at a convent, where her powerhouse voice and unforgettable personality transform a struggling choir and inspire an unlikely sisterhood.
Packed with gospel-inspired music, dazzling dance numbers and a heartwarming story of friendship and faith, five-time Tony Award-nominated Sister Act is a heavenly celebration that will have audiences rejoicing!
