MUSICAL: Sister Act - Savoyards

Title: Sister Act

Presented By: Savoyards Music Comedy Society

Genre: Musical Theatre

Synopsis: When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is placed in protective custody in the last place anyone would think to look for her — a convent.

Disguised as a nun, Deloris finds herself at odds with the strict Mother Superior and the quiet life of the convent. Using her vibrant personality, powerful voice and infectious energy, she transforms the struggling choir and breathes new life into the community. But when her newfound fame attracts unwanted attention, Deloris must rely on the strength of her sisterhood to stay one step ahead of danger.

Based on the hit film, Sister Act is a feel-good musical comedy packed with humour, heart and an uplifting score by Alan Menken.
