SISTER ACT
Sister Act is a musical comedy based on the film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg. Since the screen version the action has been moved from 1990’s Reno and San Francisco to 1970’s Philadelphia. This gives Glenn Slater and Alan Menken’s score an authentic disco flavour and rousing gospel sound that made the film such a hit.
When nightclub & disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses her boyfriend shooting someone she is put in protective custody in the one place the police are sure no one will look for her in a convent! She dresses as a nun calling herself Sister Mary Clarence and finds it hard to accept the rigid lifestyle and the uptight Mother Superior (currently being played by Sheila Hancock).
By using her disco dance moves and singing talent to inspire the tuneless nuns’ choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but blows her cover. Soon the crooks are after her but find themselves up against the new reformed Deloris and the power of her Sisterhood.
Produced by Whoopi Goldberg, Music by Oscar winner Alan Menken, and Lyrics by Glenn Slater. Book by Cheri & Bill Steinkellner. Director Peter Schneider & Choreography by Anthony Van Laast.
