Sister Act, Das Musical

Last night I saw the local production of Sister Act, Das Musical. It's the story of a gum-chewing high-heeled cabaret singer who goes into hiding at a convent to escape from her mob boss. Personalities conflict, hilarity ensues, and they all become best friends.

The performance ranged from amateur to professional. The production borrowed from the Blues Brothers with two mobster characters in the characteristic black suit, tie, and hat and performances of Everybody Needs Somebody, Think, and Shotgun Blues (a Blues Brothers cover not on the soundtrack). The lead role of Sister Mary Clarence was excellent and sometimes, I believe, out performed by two of the supporting nuns (I don't know the names). It was obvious the cast enjoyed performing and this was well reflected and received by the audience. It was a fantastic show and I recommend everybody go see it. Too bad it's sold out.
