Academy® Award winning actress Whoopi Goldberg is back as Deloris Van Cartier with BAFTA award winner Jennifer Saunders in the role of Mother Superior as the newly adapted production of Sister Act The Musical comes to London for just 39 performances in Summer 2020.
Based on the iconic movie, this tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music tells the story of the disco diva whose life takes an unexpected turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found which turns out to be a convent. Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior (Saunders), Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
Featuring original music by Tony® and 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Enchanted), dance routines and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco.
Brenda Edwards will be playing the role of Deloris Van Cartier for Thursday matinee performances.
There have, however, been some complaints on social media about ticket prices. On the Ticketmaster Theatre site they range from £61 to £284.
Sister Act – The Musical is at the Eventim Apollo, London from July 29 to August 30, 2020.
