Musical with music by Alan Menken and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, based on the Whoopi Goldberg film, with Paul Chuckle as Monsignor O'Hara.
Sister Act comes to Hull New Theatre from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 February 2028, a five-day run that brings the West End production to the city. It's based on the Whoopi Goldberg film, with original music by Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, known for Disney's Aladdin and Enchanted. The songs draw on Motown, soul and disco, so it's more of a danceable, high-energy show than a traditional musical.
The story follows disco diva Deloris, whose life takes a sharp turn when she witnesses a murder and ends up in protective custody in a convent. While she's there, she takes over the nuns' struggling choir and helps them find their true voices. The West End run has picked up some warm reviews along the way: The Sun called it 'the most feel-good show of the year' and the Mail on Sunday described it as 'a heavenly hit show'.
Paul Chuckle is in the cast as Monsignor O'Hara, and the rest of the casting is yet to be announced. It's worth noting that Craig Revel Horwood and Zoe Birkett won't be appearing at this venue. A few practical things to keep in mind before you book: some performances may use flashing and strobe lighting effects and haze.
