REVIEW: The Muny's SISTER ACT is Fabulous Baby!

The Muny premiere of SISTER ACT opened this week in Forest Park. This production is the unexpected surprise of the Muny season and one of the best productions of a stellar summer at the Muny. It is a fun and joyful romp that will put a smile on your face that won’t fade until long after you’ve left the theater. The post-show buzz generated by the audience as they were walking down the Muny concourse to their cars was seismic. Without a doubt, this finale to the Muny’s exceptional 105th season is a rousing, crowd pleasing success.

Wells’ Mary Robert is the young postulate who finds her voice through her friendship with Deloris. She disappears into the character and shows exceptional character arc in a featured role. Her performance of ‘The Life I Never Led’ is a beautiful anthem. The featured players are joined by members of the ensemble for the big chorus numbers led by Deloris as Sister Mary Clarence. ‘Its Good to Be a Nun,’ ‘Raise Your Voice,’ ‘Take Me to Heaven,’ ‘Sunday Morning Fever,’ ‘Spread You Love Around’ and the ‘Finale’ are all resounding examples of how well-produced and exceptionally performed musical comedy can lift your spirits high.
