Sister Act
Make your way to London’s Dominion Theatre for an all-time classic. You’ll love it whether you’ve seen the Whoopie Goldberg movie or not. This time around the brilliant Olivier Award-winner and Soul legend Beverley Knight, a real theatreland star, reprises her role as the disco diva-in-disguise Deloris van Cartier. She’s joined by the co-creator and star of TV’s hilarious comedy series Gavin and Stacey, Ruth Jones, who plays Mother Superior. They’re joined by Lesley Joseph, Lizzie Bea, the Olivier Award-winner Clive Rowe, BRIT Award-winning singer songwriter Lemar, Britain's Got Talent and musical theatre star Alison Jiea, and Regent Park’s La Cage aux Folles Carl Mullaney.
Based on the hit movie with a gorgeous score inspired by Motown from the pen of Tony and eight time Oscar winner Alan Menken, it’s all about the funny. You’ll leave the venue with a huge smile on your face, just like the half a million people who’ve already seen the show in the UK so far. On at the Dominion from 15th March to 31st August 2024, it’s all set to be a dazzling comedy sensation. If hot West End comedy is your thing, this is the ideal barrel-of-laughs production.

Fantastic performance This was a birthday treat for my daughter who adores Sister Act and the performance lived up to expectation and more. The actors were amazing and gave us all 110%. We just wanted more at the end.
The only downside was the cost of the refreshments in the interval. To charge £11 for a small glass of rose (which was a huge treat for us) was just too much.

Excellent - a must see show This show was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish I was captivated and didn’t want it to end. There was so much energy and the songs were great.

Beverly Knight still a star Really good show. Only got the great tickets last minute. Was disappointed when it was obvious that none of the songs were from the film, but what was included was original masterpieces belted out by the brilliant cast.
Beverly Knight take a bow. Bloody marvellous!!

Siew Yen, 10 Apr 2024
Great evening entertainment. A little hard to hear some characters sing over the music ( few people in the area commented on this). All together a great show with original songs.
Antonia, 10 Apr 2024
Brilliant show to lift your spirits Loved the show. Fabulous cast. All deserving of praise. We left the theatre buzzing 👍
Sue, 07 Apr 2024
Beverley Knight is outstanding The first half was joyous, the songs and music were outstanding, but for some of the second half it felt a bit like it was floundering. Beverley Knight absolutely redeemed it though and is a force of nature, we were totally blown away by her performance and prowess.
Alicia, 06 Apr 2024
Great musical - cast fantastic! Award winning cast, absolutely stole the show - music, lighting, props a great night out - only thing that let it down slightly for me was not having any of the original soundtracks form the film, but other than that FABULOUS!!!!
Alison, 05 Apr 2024
Brilliant Show Excellent production. Beverley Knight has such a powerful voice and is so talented. The rest of the cast are also supremely talented. Ruth Jones as Mother Superior is excellent and occasionally dropped into ‘Nessa’ much to the joy of the audience. We loved it.

David, 29 Mar 2024
Recommendable Excellent singers but almost all of them in the same high tone. People had to cover the ears every acute voices when they sang.

Fun night out A great night out watching fab cast do their thing - Beverley Knight’s voice is awesome.
Diane, 26 Mar 2024
The music was incredibly loud and drowned out many of the performers so the lyrics were lost. Lovely theatre, very good view from seat. We’re the cast just trying a little too hard? Beverley Knight was brilliant, voice great clear diction and she could be heard over the band - who were just far too loud.
Christine, 25 Mar 2024
Rousing! I went because of the main cast members. I’ve seen Clive Rowe many times as a (fabulous!) pantomime Dame, but here he really sings his heart out beautifully along with the other terrific principal characters - and not forgetting the excellent chorus! The whole show is uplifting, vigorous, and colourful. Splendid entertainment that had the audience fully engaged and enthralled!
Paul, 22 Mar 2024
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 OMG we loved this show! I was crying with laughter in parts.
Clever tweak of the movie story line to fit to the stage production.
The cast are fantastic.. Beverly Knights voice is just WOW.
Loved all the characters..
The band sitting under the stage blew us away too.
This is a must see show, it's funny,moving, amazing cast, amazing music 🎶
We'll be coming back.
Georgina, 21 Mar 2024
A must see It’s a must see great feel good show. It’s got everything. We had a great night
Jane, 19 Mar 2024
Only OK Main problem for me was all the songs were new to me.
Paul, 17 Mar 2024
Well worth going to see! What an amazing performance from start to finish. Lots of comedy that had tears rolling down our faces and so I really need to tell you just how incredible the singing was!!
We were so impressed by all of it and so happy we booked.
Claire, 17 Mar 2024
It would be a sin not to go. The whole show was exceptional with Beverley Knight,Ruth Jones,Lemar, Lesley Joseph performing with passion from the very first act.Every person. upon that stage,deserves full credit.

Super Great show good singing very good spoken to translate
Ch, 16 Mar 2024
Five Stars Opening night at Sister Act did not disappoint! The depth and range of the music was excellent and right on time to tell the story. Beverly Knight, Ruth Jones, and Lizzie Bee’s performance was outstanding. The costumes, set, and props helped to transport you into the story. I felt like I was right there with sisters and a friend of Sister Mary Clarence.
Julie, 15 Mar 2024
Vive Dolores !! Un show magnifique, plein d'humour, un moment de pure gaité dans ce monde si troublé.

AMAZING Beverley Knight and her incredible cast Loved every part of the show. I’m a fan of Beverly, Jennifer and Lesley, the acting was brilliant and the singing gave me goose bumps!
Jean, 23 Aug 2022
Awesome One of the best shows I have ever seen
Paul, 18 Aug 2022
Stunning performance The singing was excellent and really enjoyed it.
Peter, 15 Aug 2022
A wonderful show but… It’s a fantastic show and the cast is amazing. The set is great and I like how the story has been adapted for the stage. However, the show is missing the original songs from the movie. It kind of makes the whole thing. The songs in the show are good but really, they couldn’t get the copyright for one song or even so the same style of cover/remix of classic songs. That’s my only complaint and it’s a concern. A big cast is not sustainable. A great cast and a good show that I wish would do well.
Nathan, 13 Aug 2022
very enjoyable the show itself was excellent.
The only criticism was entering the theater. We had to empty out a flask of water before being allowed in. My daughter who saw the show a few days before had not such problem.

must see absolutely brilliant
