So here are 5 reasons why Sister Act<\/em> is one for the books!<\/p>\n

1. Impressive production design<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it. A great storyline and talented characters won\u2019t suffice to slate a memorable musical. In a review from thedailymail.co.uk, Sister Act <\/em>has prepared something special for the audience, from brilliant lights and vibrant stage display, especially the convent set-up. So it’s definitely something you should watch out for!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Expect top-notch musical numbers from the Gospel troupe<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with the movie, imagine nuns who sing in a convent suddenly get out of their shells, go dropping a beat with religious raps, backed up with an accordion, saxophone, and a trumpet! Pretty odd right? Enough to make it interesting for you watch the play.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll be entertained by Alan Menken\u2019s composition and Glenn Slater\u2019s genius piece<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I bet you\u2019re all familiar with the tuneful and spectacular music of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast<\/em>, The Little Mermaid, Enchanted <\/em>and many more. Behind this musical greatness are the powerhouse duo, 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. Such astounding songs you\u2019ll expect to hear at the divine musical are \u201cRaise Your Voice\u201d and \u201cFabulous Baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Hilarious, essentially good musical<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Touted as \u201cfun, funny, and feel-good\u201d and lauded by The Huffington Post<\/em> as \u201cridiculously fun\u201d for providing fans an unbridled joy, need we say more? From a classic movie, now a sure fire musical with on-point choreography, brace yourselves for a mixture of humor and heart, and more injected comedy on June 27.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Dene Hill\u00a0to take the role as Deloris<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aside from establishing a fresh identity distinct from the movie, Dene will bring out something more on Deloris Van Cartier\u2019s sassy character, previously played by American actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg.<\/p>\n

Sure Whoopi did set the bar high for this role, but Dene\u00a0is definitely going to blow you away with her great set of pipes and impeccable stage presence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Catch Dene Hill\u00a0as she performs exhilarating numbers and hilarious scenes alongside with the talented nuns at Sister Act<\/em> on June 27, 2017 at The Theater in Solaire, Paranaque City. See you there!<\/p>\n
