It has something for everyone. Its an action adventure filled with comedy, love, acceptance and true friendship that crosses cultures, said Dr. Kenn Stilson, chair of The Jeanine Larson Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance.
Sister Actis the feel-goodmusical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film. The musical follows a disco diva who witnesses a murder, then is placed in protective custody in a convent.
Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar-winner, Alan Menken, this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The production is filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story.
If you loved the movie, the live musical version of this story is for you, Stilson said.
