- Notes: Sister Act, the Musical – with performances on Friday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 13 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday April 14 at 2:00 p.m., and directed by John Mulcahy with Sean Fleming on keyboards joined by a professional orchestra – is based on the hit 1992 film about Delores Van Cartier, an ambitious lounge singer in the 1970s who, having accidentally witnessed a murder, is hidden by the police in a local convent until she can safely testify. Forced to assume the guise of a nun, the streetwise Delores turns the orderly and serene lives of the nuns and their Mother Superior upside down. This uplifting musical about the power of music and friendship was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), the score is jammed with both disco-inspired tunes and more traditional musical comedy material. Who can resist the beat of tunes like those of the great disco queens and the Bee Gees?
