Sister Act The Musical - 2023 Olivier Nominated Production starring Landi Oshinowo and Lizzie Bea, at The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, 9 - 14 October 2023

Preview by Arabella Neville-Rolfe


The 2023 Olivier Award nominated production of Sister Act the Musical will head to Coventry later this year, playing at the Belgrade from 9 – 14 October 2023 with a press performance on Monday 9 October.


Based on the iconic movie, this sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music tells the hilarious story of the disco diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a convent! Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
