*Sister Act* is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992
film, featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan
Menken (*Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors*), this
uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best
Musical.

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in
protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found:
a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the
rigid lifestyle and 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 is
giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her
newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving
story, *Sister Act* will leave audiences breathless. A sparkling tribute to
the universal power of friendship, *Sister Act* is reason to REJOICE!
