Sister Act now booking to 18 Dec 2010!

The musical comedy Sister Act, has increased its booking period by 10 months - tickets are now on sale to 18 Dec 2010.

The show opened at the London Palladium on 2 June 2009, following previews from 7 May, to generally good notices from the popular press: THE EVENING STANDARD says, "It's a wimple-wibbling, habit-forming triumph." THE DAILY MAIL says, "I hated its artistic laziness, its predictability, its incuriosity, its idea that disco is divine..." THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Sister Act proves more enjoyable on stage than it did on film." THE STAGE says, "Highly recommended."

Based on the 1992 film, the stage musical has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, book by Cheri and Bill Steinkellner.

It is directed by Peter Schneider, designed by Klara Zieglerova, choreography by Anthony Van Laast, lighting by Natasha Katz, sound by Mick Potter, Musical Director Nick Skilbeck.

The cast includes Sheila Hancock (Mother Superior), Patina Miller (Deloris Van Cartier).

It is produced by Whoopi Goldberg and Stage Entertainment.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun she quickly finds fans amongst her fellow 'sisters' but makes the wrong impression on the convent's strict Mother Superior. When she turns her attention to the convent's off-key choir, helping the nuns to find their true voices and breathing new life into the rundown neighbourhood, her cover could be blown for good. With the gang giving chase, is time running out for Deloris? Or have they underestimated the power of her new found Sisterhood?
