Review: SISTER ACT THE MUSICAL At Theatre In The Park
The final show of Theater In The Park’s 2024 outdoor season is a musical version of the 1992 film comedy “SISTER ACT.”.

Added is an original score by Alan Menken with lyrics by Glenn Slater. The resulting show turns out to be an enjoyable if a little predictable rendition of the film. Happily, this cast is well chosen, well directed, and well-choreographed enough to make a summer evening fly on by.
