Broadway Musical 'Sister Act': The beloved film “Sister Act,” starring Whoopi Goldberg, was brought to the stage with Goldberg herself as producer.

The touching story of women from different walks of life who foster friendship through song and music remains faithful to the film. The musical's dynamic live performances offer an exhilarating theater experience that audiences will want to relive repeatedly. The initial 2015 Japan tour and its 2017 return were sold out daily.
