“When, at the age of 76, I was asked to appear in Sister Act at the London Palladium, I thought I might just about manage six months. It has proved such a joyous experience; I have a new lease of life, and am pleased to stay for longer. The music, the highly talented cast, the fabulous set and costumes and the fun yet serious underlying message of the show evokes the most ecstatic audience reaction I have ever known in my 60 plus year career. Why would I walk away from that? My job is to entertain and that is what this show does; the audiences are diverse and huge and I feel proud to be part of it, despite my aching bones.”

The new musical is based on the hugely popular film starring Maggie Smith and curreny producer of the show Whoopi Goldberg. Opened back in May, Sister Act has gone from strength to strength, with repeat bookers and packed audiences most nights. The brand new score is by Alan Menken, who has won Academy Awards for his work.

The show follows Deloris Van Cartier a club singer who is put under police protection in a convent, thinking that is the last place anyone is going to look for her, but Deloris soon becomes centre of attention. She takes on the convents choir who are in desperate need of help and within weeks Deloris is leaving her mark on the nuns, local community and even the pope. The show is full of laughs, cries and tunes that will have you dancing in the aisle.
