There's a real reason to rejoice this season because everybody's favorite nun is coming to STAGES to stir up her special brand of habit-forming fun! This family production includes all of the laughter and irrisistible music of the favorite film performed on stage. Blessed with a rollicking new musical score from Alan Menken, the composer who brought us Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Newsies and Aladdin, this devine comedy about a sassy, low-rent lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place anyone would ever look for her - a convent - became one of Broadway's smash hit musicals.
A delight for all ages, Sister Act brings the gift of laughter, the power of music and a touch of heavenly inspiration to audiences everywhere. Performed by STAGES St. Louis with afternoon and evening shows through Oct. 9.
At the Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood. For showtimes, tickets and more information: stagesstlouis.org
