Stage version of hit movie Sister Act comes to Liverpool Empire next year

Dec 15 2011 Flintshire Chronicle

WHOOPI Goldberg and Stage Entertainment have teamed up to produce the first ever UK tour of the hit musical comedy Sister Act.

The show, which played to over a million people at the London Palladium during its West End run, visits the Liverpool Empire from May 22-June 2, 2012.

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 found – a convent.

Disguised as a nun she quickly finds fans among her fellow ‘sisters’ but makes the wrong impression on the convent’s strict Mother Superior.

When she turns her attention to the convent’s off-key choir, helping the nuns to find their true voices and breathing new life into the rundown neighbourhood, her cover could be blown for good.

With the gang giving chase, is time running out for Deloris?Š

Or have they underestimated the power of her new found sisterhood?

Sister Act features a score by Alan Menken, eight-time Oscar winner and the genius behind many of the world famous songs from Disney’s movies, including The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin and Enchanted, with lyrics from his long-time collaborator Glenn Slater.
