Sister Act

Sing Hallelujah for the all new production of Sister Act starring Alexandra Burke Read more …

An all new production of the Broadway and West End smash hit musical comedy returns to the UK starring Alexandra Burke (The X Factor, The Bodyguard)

Directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood, Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy based on the smash hit movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith.

Featuring original music by Tony® and 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin and Beauty and the BeastNewsies, Enchanted), dazzling dance routines and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, Sister Act is the funniest and funkiest musical around.

Sister Act tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a Convent!  Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music.

Come and see the habits hit the road again and why this fabulous family friendly show has been seen by more than 6 million people worldwide.

Alexandra Burke will not be performing the role of ‘Deloris Van Cartier’ in the midweek matinee performances.


The critical consensus

If you like musical comedy you really should catch up with nun on the run Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act.

****(*)Martin Gray, All Edinburgh Theatre, 05/04/2017

Warm, funny and entertaining.

****(*)Kelly Apter, The List, 05/04/2017

The talent and enthusiasm of the cast ensure that this incarnation of Sister Act is an enjoyable success.

****(*)Gregor Dickson, Broadway World, 07/04/2017

Craig Revel Horwood’s production is at its strongest in the big musical numbers, whether it be the glorious cacophony of the choir of nuns before Deloris arrives or the all-hands-on-deck Philadelphia soul of the finale.

***(*)(*)Mark Fisher, The Scotsman, 08/04/2017

Disco balls, seedy bars, holy bibles and gospel choirs may not seem like a successful combination but it is a heavenly hit bound to fill the theatre seats (if not the pews).
