Heavenly hit: Hemel Hempstead Theatre Company brings Sister Act to life this June

Get ready to raise your voice and your spirits as Hemel Hempstead Theatre Company presents the feel-good musical comedy Sister Act live on stage at the Boxmoor Playhouse from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 June.

(L:R) James Hale, musical director, Gisele Yoh-Fowles, choreographer and Iain Fowles, director are the creative team behind Sister Act

Based on the beloved 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act is a divine musical packed with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly uplifting story. 

The show follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier who, after witnessing a crime, is placed in protective custody in the most unlikely of places – a convent. Disguised as a nun and struggling to fit in, she soon breathes new life into the church with her incredible voice, inspiring the choir and community alike and transforming herself along the way.
