Sister Act the Musical
From 8 February 2025
Lyric Theatre, QPAC, South Bank
The most heavenly of musicals, Sister Act will debut in Brisbane led by Casey Donovan as Deloris Van Cartier, the role made famous by Whoopi Goldberg in the hit film. Also donning the habit will be Genevieve Lemon in the role of Mother Superior and Rhonda Burchmore as choir leader Sister Mary Lazarus.
Disco diva Deloris’ life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Placed under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she shouldn’t be found – a convent! Encouraged to join the struggling choir, she helps her fellow sisters find their true voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
Based on the iconic film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act the Musical features original music by Tony and 8-time Oscar award-winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Enchanted, The Little Mermaid), with songs inspired by Motown, soul, and disco.
The creative team includes Alan Menken (Music), Glenn Slater (Lyrics), Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (Book), Bill Buckhurst (Director), Alistair David (Choreographer), Morgan Large (Set & Costume Design), Stephen Brooker (Musical Supervision), Tim Mitchell (Lighting Design) and Tom Marshall (Sound Design).
Nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as a total of six Olivier Award nominations across the original West End season and the London revival season, Sister Act is a musical sent from above.
