No matter if you’ve seen the motion picture or
not, the Alhambra Theater & Dining’s take on “Sister Act” is unique, spectacular and very entertaining. It’s sassy, high-spirited, comical and you
will be thoroughly charmed. There is so
much laughter, great lines and well-delivered music, that you’d better get your
tickets today, because Gala night was almost a sell-out event. This is a great musical for the entire family. 
The cast is wonderfully professional as some of the Nun’s costumes went flying
like that of the “Flying Nun”, nonetheless, the show went-on without a hitch. Kudos to nuns: Renée Veronica Freeman* (starring as Deloris Van
Cartier), Patti Eyler* (Mother Superior - nun you might want to dislike), Molly
Anne Ross, Jan Neuberger* (Kurtis Blow hip-hop wrapper), Aaron DeCicco (energy vibrant
singer & dancer), Linzy Lauren, Olivia Chernyshev, Melanie Souza*, Rachel
Anton*, Megan Victoria Stillson, Sophie Luedi, Abigail Cline and Robin
Richardson, who did a marvelous job with singing, acting and dancing throughout
the evening.There are also male members who need to be credited with their talents in “Sister Act”. Joshian Morales*, Peter Jackson, Kurt McCall, David Berry* (too funny as T.J.), Timothy Ellis*, Brandon Garcia (yes, he was a server & bartender who also now acts) and Travis Gerald Young - multiple part actor; rounded out the talented cast. Some of the male and female members are new, others you might have seen before, yet their appearance in “Sister Act” gives them added credence to their portfolios.
James Kinney* is back
as the Choreographer and the high-stepping antics of the troupe can be credited
to his genius. Producer/director Tod
Booth* did a wonderful job tweaking the script and adding his flare to the
production. Dave Dionne and Ian Black
created smooth transitioning sets that cleverly changed as actors moved into
their next scene. Musical direction is
expertly conducted by Cathy Murphy Giddens and you will enjoy each musical
score in this two act presentation. (*Denotes

We would be amiss if the meal, served by Executive Chef DeJuan Roy, wan not highlighted. Everything that was sampled (see photos) was exceptionally good. As always, no extra seasonings are needed. Chef knows what he’s doing and you will leave satisfied. You’ll almost want to see the show before you eat, because after you’re finished - it will be time for a nap; but that’s the time to order a cup of coffee to go with your delectable dessert
