Review: Sister Act is a sparkling spectacle at the Palace Theatre

A stunning set, outstanding outfits and versatile vocals. The audience anticipates an evening of family-friendly fun – and the actors dutifully deliver.

But the crowd - a couple dressed as nuns themselves - are prepared for this stage production of Sister Act at the Palace Theatre to differ dramatically from the film. While still a sparkling spectacle, it is not the sing-along that some might expect.

Although the story is similar, the songs in this 'divine musical comedy' are not the same. Unlike the 1992 comedy classic, which features familiar songs converted for a catholic choir, this show has an original score.
