𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩 - 𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙆𝙀𝙏𝙎 𝙊𝙉 𝙎𝘼𝙇𝙀 𝙉𝙊𝙒!!! 🎉

Brought to you by Congleton Amateur Youth Theatre, Director, Mandi Dearing and Musical Director, Alex Williams; not forgetting our very talented NODA Award winning cast and crew.

𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩 is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony and 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, 𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩 will leave audiences breathless. The cast is chock full of amazing roles for women of all ages making this a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, 𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩 is reason to REJOICE!
