BWW WEST END: SISTER ACT: The Musical Opens At The London Palladium

SISTER ACT, the new musical comedy, opened on June 2nd at the London Palladium. Our West End video partners, Reelkandi.tv were there to cover all the opening night excitement - right here on BWW TV!

"When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won't be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so blows her cover. Soon the gang are giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her new found Sister Hood."
