Sister Act: The Musical

Brace yourselves sisters for this sparkling celebration to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music.

Sister Act tells the hilarious story of Deloris 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.

Joining the congregation as Mother Superior is comedy legend and BAFTA Award-winner Jennifer Saunders, and the Queen of Soul, Beverley Knight as Disco diva in disguise Deloris Van Cartier. The heavenly cast also includes The Greatest Showman and Tony Award-nominated actress Keala Settle, Television and stage star Lesley Joseph, Hackney royalty and Olivier Award-winner Clive Rowe and Hairspray’s rising star Lizzie Bea.

Featuring original music by Tony® and 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Enchanted), dazzling dance routines and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, this is one nostalgia-filled trip that you will never forget.

Join our congregation at Eventim Apollo London and Raise Your Voice for the feel-good theatrical event of the summer.

The Sister Act musical follows the same narrative as the original 1992 film. Sister Act sees lounge singer Deloris van Cartier placed on a witness protection programme, so to cover her identity she finds herself in a convent. Jazz singing and choral hymns don’t appear to have much in common, but what the sisters and Deloris do share is a love of music, community and bringing people together. As the sisters and Deloris spend every waking moment by each other's side, the newfound community begin to use and utilise their voices to discover their almighty good.

Expect musical glamour and plenty of joyful moments in this Sister Act musical. There's plenty of gospel and Motown-infused melodies, including “Raise Your Voice” and “Take Me To Heaven.” Believe us when we say this musical really is fabulous, baby!
