As previously reported international recording artist Simon Webbe will join the cast of SISTER ACT on Monday May 31. Simon will play the role of Curtis Shank, the bad-boy lover of the story's heroine Deloris Van Cartier. Shank's various job titles include nightclub owner, gangster and love machine.

Simon will be joined on stage by Sheila Hancock, currently causing a sensation on the BBC's hit Saturday night talent search Over The Rainbow, as Mother Superior, critically acclaimed newcomer Patina Miller as Deloris and Dads' Army legend Ian Lavender as the Monsignor.
GLORIOUS FUN. STRONG, FUNNY AND TOUCHING...A CRACKER.

Based on the smash-hit movie, Sister Act features a brand new score by 8 time Oscar winner Alan Menken whose credits include Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and most recently the hit movie Enchanted.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won't be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an 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 are giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her new found Sister Hood.

As previously reported, Sister Act has broken the record for the highest-grossing single musical performance at The London Palladium. The show beat the previous record which was held by The Sound of Music.

Sister Act stars Sheila Hancock as Mother Superior, Patina Miller as Deloris and Ian Lavender as Monsignor Howard.
