Last Tuesday I went to see Sister Act on Broadway. Sister Act is a Broadway Musical produced by Whoopi Goldberg, based on the hit movie she starred in.
Sister Act takes place in Philadelphia during the 1970’s. The show is about a jazz singer named Dolores Van Cartier, (played by Patina Miller), who witnesses a murder as she’s leaving the club she works at. In order to keep her safe the police hide her in the one place no one would think to look, a convent. The show focuses on Dolores’ time in the convent and how she gets a new sense of what is really important in life
I enjoyed the show. I thought the performers were fantastic, the set and lights looked incredible and the costumes were appropriate to the show, but were given flare. Many of the characters had shining moments during the performance, but my favorites were Patina Miller (Dolores) singing “Fabulous, Baby”, Chester Gregory (Eddie Souther) singing “I Could Be That Guy”, and Carolee Carmello (Mother Superior) singing “I Haven’t Got A Prayer”. The show was also filled with moments that were hilarious. The bulk of the humor was provided by the goofy, dim witted goon TJ played by Demond Green, and the tough Sister Mary Lazarus played by Audrie Neenan. Both delivered comedic moments in the show that were unforgettable, but a personal favorite was a rap number that Lazarus delivered. Overall I thought the show was awesome. All the aspects that go into a performance worked great together and left a lasting impression. I left the show with nothing but good things to say, singing the songs all the way home. There’s something for everyone to enjoy in Sister Act and is a must see for any theater lover. The show is playing at the Broadway Theater located on 53rd street and Broadway.
