Based on the Touchstone Pictures Motion Picture, Sister Act, written by Joseph Howard
Based on the hit 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act returns to our stage for only the second time in our history! Nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical, this high-energy, uplifting tale is a story of unity and faith.
Disco diva Deloris Van Cartier finds herself in protective custody after witnessing a murder, only to end up in perhaps the most effective hideout of all – a convent, disguised as a nun. After struggling to adapt to her new lifestyle, Deloris inspires a new rhythm in the convent choir and bonds with her community. Deloris learns about herself, her higher purpose, and forms meaningful connections with the other nuns – which is especially useful when her cover is blown and it is up to their sisterhood to protect her.
Get ready to raise your voice with the iconic score of Sister Act, featuring “Fabulous, Baby,” “I Could Be That Guy,” “The Life I Never Lead,” “Raise Your Voice,” and the unforgettable title song “Sister Act.” The greatest blessing? Sister Act makes its grand return to the Mac-Haydn for Three Fabulous Weeks!
