The upbeat musical production, “Sister Act”, is coming to the famous Alhambra Theatre & Dining, starting September 7th. The stellar cast of “Sister Act” features: Renee Veronica Freeman who starred as main character "Deloris Van Carter" in the national and international tours of the production. Freeman has also appeared on the CBS drama Limitless and the NBC drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Joining her are Disney cast members Molly Anne Ross and Joshian Morales.
Synopsis: Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found – a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing, and a truly moving story, “Sister Act” is a sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship.
