BWW Reviews: Inspirational SISTER ACT at the Fabulous Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson
- Nov 25, 2013
Based on the hit 1992 of the same name, the musical version of SISTER ACT just might be more entertaining in a lot of ways. Since the star of the film, the multi-talented Whoopi Goldberg, is producing it as well, that might explain why it has a certain darkness around the edges. In any event, the current production playing the Fox Theatre (though December 1, 2013) is an inspirational delight.
