Following on from the huge success of our 2012 summer production of ‘Hairspray’, and 2013’s ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, the same creative team are reuniting for Sister Act, another musical that is sure to get everyone up on their feet and dancing. Sister Act tells the hilarious story of disco diva Deloris Van Cartier. After inadvertently witnessing a murder by her some-time boyfriend Curtis and his gang, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be found – the local convent! Disguised as a nun she immediately makes the wrong impression on the convent’s strict Mother Superior, who has problems of her own trying to keep the Convent going. When Deloris transforms the nun’s choir into the hottest musical act in town she can help save the convent, but at the same time she risks her disguise being blown open. Luckily for her, the gangsters find themselves up against an unstoppable force, as her new-found singing sisterhood come to her rescue! Hallelujah! The stage musical is based on the 1992 smash hit movie of the same name which starred Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris and Maggi Smith as Mother Superior. The film was nominated for two Golden Globes and was a massive box office hit. A stage musical of Sister Act was first performed in the USA in 2006, opening in the West End in 2009 before heading to Broadway and then worldwide. In London it was nominated for four Oliver Awards and has been seen by over a million theatregoers – and now Aberystwyth Arts Centre are really pleased to be the first ever independent theatre to receive permission to present Sister Act, which is quite a coup for us, and we’re thrilled. This fabulous, family-friendly, feel-good show is packed with songs inspired by Motown, funk, soul and disco that guaranteed to raise the roof of the theatre. So come along and join the Sisterhood for this divinely funny musical – after all, it would be a sin not to!! SISTER ACT will be on all summer from Friday 25th July through to Saturday 30th August.
