Praise be! The habit is coming to Australia.
The global smash hit musical sent from above, is now touring Australia. Sister Act is without doubt, the must-see new musical of the year!
Based on the film, which quickly became a global phenomenon, Sister Act is set to light up our theatres and lift our spirits with its irresistible energy and joy, that only this iconic story can!
Starring Casey Donovan as Deloris Van Cartier, Genevieve Lemon as Mother Superior and Rhonda Burchmore as Sister Mary Lazarus, we are truly blessed with three of the most extraordinary talents to ever grace Australian stages.

The atmosphere , the singing and dancing as one of the most amazing experience of my life .. the actors were so fantastic ,on more than one occasion I had goose bumps all over ..
The show did not include any of the songs from the movie. Very disappointing!
The Capitol Theatre is a superb theatre that doesn’t deserve to be dragged down by this poor excuse for a musical.
Great singing - good dancing - colourful costumes - bright scenery - totally enjoyable show with lots of fun - I felt so alive when I left the theatre.
A truly wonderful production! Incredible talent, fabulous original songs, amazing costumes (the magic of Velcro!), emotive scenery and immersive lighting! Loved the whole thing. So glad I made it! Great views from seats in Capitol Theatre Sydney stalls. Only suggestion - more padding in the seats!
Wow! what a fantastic show. Lots of great songs, characters and staging. Very colourful and amazing cast
Picking up my tickets from the Box Office was super convenient. Our seats were excellent even though we were near the back. Apart from the expected long queue for the Ladies toilets, everything was fantastic. The staff all appeared friendly and obliging.
I was expecting the iconic Sister Act. It was disappointing that the lead Casey Donovan was not in attendance nor the second to her so we felt like this was a cheaper experience. Not one song was from the original movie so while the singing and acting was good, I wouldn’t have chosen to spend my money on it had i known none of the music would be the same nor Casey in attendance. I really paid to see Casey and enjoy iconic shared songs from my childhood with my Mum and Sister.
What’s the point of advertising Casey Donovan as the main star of the show, who was also the main reason why I came to see it, if she’s not performing? The show was good and everyone did a really good job singing, but there were no notices or warnings anywhere that Casey wouldn’t be performing. So very disappointed.
