Synopsis
The original film's locations of Reno
and San Francisco have been changed to Philadelphia and the action now is set
in the 1970s. When disco diva wannabe Deloris Van Cartier sees her gangster
boyfriend Curtis Shank commit a murder at the grungy club where she's
performing, she reports the crime to the police and is placed in the witness
protection program. Disguised as a nun named Sister Mary Clarence, she is
placed in the convent of the Holy Order of the Little Sisters of Our Mother of
Perpetual Faith, where she finds herself up against the rigid Mother Superior.
Deloris uses her singing talent to inspire the other nuns to create a more
contemporary choir, and they become the hit of the community. Word of their
success reaches Curtis and his mob, who arrive on the scene to settle their
score with Deloris and find themselves battling not only her, but a gang of feisty
nuns and the Mother Superior as well.
SISTER ACT will be the funniest and
funkiest musical ever to rock Manila very soon.
With only a limited two-week run, don’t
miss this blissfully silly heavenly hit show.
