The
Riverside Musical Theatre Company are making a welcome return to the Riverside stage
this June with their 3rd Musical in 3 years!!
Sister Act is
the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has
audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony and 8-time
Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty And The Beast, Little Shop Of Horrors),
this uplifting musical was nominated for 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical.
When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder,
she is put in protective custody in 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!
