About Sister Act the Musical

Based on the iconic film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act the Musical follows disco diva Deloris who accidentally witnesses a murder. Placed under protective custody, she is hidden in the one place she shouldn’t be found: a convent. Encouraged to help the struggling choir, she inspires her fellow sisters to find their true voices while unexpectedly rediscovering her own.

The musical features a book by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner with additional material by Douglas Carter Beane, as well as original music by Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater.

Director Bill Buckhurst leads a creative team that includes choreography by Alistair David, set and costume design by Morgan Large, lighting design by Tim Mitchell and sound design by Tom Marshall.
