A feel-good musical comedy based on the hit 1992 film, “Sister Act” has delighted audiences on Broadway and around the world. The smash musical was nominated for five 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she’s put in protective custody, hidden in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent. Disguised as a nun, she quickly finds herself at odds with the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior, but still manages to use her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir.

Her success breathes new life into the church and community, but also blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris — plus the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, energetic dancing and a truly moving story, “Sister Act” will leave audiences breathless. It’s a sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship and a great reason to rejoice!

“Sister Act” landed on Broadway after a successful run on the West End — London’s version of Broadway — and received Tony Award nominations for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score. Victoria Clark, who has Chatham County ties and met with Jordan-Matthews students on Broadway after starring in “Kimberly Akimbo,” was nominated for her featured role in “Sister Act” as Mother Superior. The musical has enjoyed several tours since then in the United States and United Kingdom, running as recently as last year in a West End revival.

Performances of “Sister Act” are Friday, March 20, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 21, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, March 22, at 3 p.m. The approximate running time will be announced as performances approach, but is expected to be about 2 hours, 30 minutes, which includes one intermission.

General admission is $10. Everyone attending, regardless of age, must have a ticket. No passes are accepted, though qualifying JMArts members will be admitted free according to their membership levels.
