Sister Act - Review - Liverpool Empire Theatre
Liverpool Empire Theatre - 22nd May 2012
Deloris Van Cartier is back! The stage adaptation of the 1992 movie ‘Sister Act’ premiered at the London Palladium in 2009, later transferred to Broadway and has now made its way to Liverpool in the middle of a UK tour. A last minute ticket booth purchase saw me catch the show in the West End in 2010 and we found it one of the most enjoyable new musicals of recent years. Looking forward to seeing it again, I made my way to the opening night at Liverpool Empire to see if the show is as much fun now as it was then. The answer?
