About the Show

Join the talented Performing Arts students from Canterbury Christ Church University for their 2025 musical production of Sister Act. Students from schools and colleges are welcome to attend for free, getting the opportunity to get a taste of studying Theatre and Performance at university, to get an insight into the production with an opportunity for Q&A, and to enjoy an award winning show, for free.

Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film. With original music by Tony and 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty And The Beast, Little Shop Of Horrors), this uplifting show was nominated for 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Follow Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva whose life takes an unexpected turn when she witnesses a murder. Placed in protective custody at a convent, Deloris struggles to adapt to the strict lifestyle. But when she uses her disco moves and powerful voice to inspire the convent’s choir, she transforms the community and rediscovers her own voice — all while evading danger.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing, and a truly moving story, Sister Act is a sparkling tribute to the power of friendship, sisterhood, and the universal joy of music.
