Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the 1992 film starring legendary star Whoopi Goldberg. It tells the story of a woman hiding in a convent who helps her fellow sisters find their voice as she rediscovers her own. Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act has been a favorite for theater and movie-goers for more than two decades.
