by André Böke - May 10, 2026
“Sister Act” owes its status as a global phenomenon to the iconic Whoopi Goldberg film, but Alan Menken’s stage version of the beloved Hollywood comedy has long since conquered stages all over the world. In its acclaimed West End incarnation, the musical has already been touring German-speaking venues for a third year, presented by production company Showslot, continuing to fill auditoriums all over the country. Both the linguistic adaptation and the technical realization for touring operations across Germany are flawless. The show is nothing short of a gospel of good fun – hallelujah!

After stops in Zurich, Munich and Berlin, interspersed with various UK engagements including London, the show now plays its final German date at the Alte Oper Frankfurt. From here, it will return to British venues through mid-year. There is, accordingly, a sense of culmination in the air: a production taking its last bow on German soil before retreating to its home circuit. And what a send-off it proves to be.
