Sister Act at MBS in Review

Written by Jeremy Lee

I’ll admit it, when I first heard that the iconic 1992 comedy Sister Act was being made into a stage musical, I was sceptical. But then I thought, if Dirty Dancing and Saturday Night Fever could be made into successful jukebox musicals, why not Sister Act?

Then I heard that it was going to have all-original music, and I started to have my doubts again.  After all, part of the reason why Sister Act was so popular was because of its soundtrack, which had RandB songs performed by imitable EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg and her nun chorus. Remember hits such as “I Will Follow You”, “My Guy (My God)” and the pure ecstasy of “Shout”?

Why take away these great songs and replace them with new songs that people won’t know?

'The Bald Soprano' by Wild Rice's Young and Wild Company

Wild Rice's Young and Wild company is presenting a production of Eugene Ionesco’s classic comedy The Bald Soprano.

The Bald Soprano is a bold, raucous play about the tragedy of language. As the six characters meet and engage in conversation, sense and nonsense collide, platitudes replace substance and dialogue becomes drama. Soon enough, reality starts to break down as language loses all meaning!

Sounds like a hilarious evening in the theatre. Get your tickets at SISTIC!
