Features: Broadway new musical-comedy classic "SISTER ACT" will be stage in the Beijing Century Theatre, one of the most advanced theaters in Beijing on August 18th through to September 3rd.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Coming direct from Broadway, SISTER ACT is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash that the New York Post calls "RIDICULOUSLY FUN,” and audiences are jumping to their feet in total agreement! Featuring original music by Tony and 8-time Oscar winner ALAN MENKEN (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), SISTER ACT tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to REJOICE!

This summer, Beijing Compass Culture & Arts Co., Ltd. is honored and excited to bring this America’s new musical-comedy classic to the grand theater of the Beijing Century Theater, one of the most advanced theaters in Beijing on August 18th through to September 3rd.

Media Review
"This is a musical that hits all the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. Menken and Slater, who also teamed up for The Little Mermaid, know perfectly how to switch up the mood and tempo.”
----The Associated Press

"Sister Act: A Divine Musical Comedy ... has its own distinct and surprising charms. Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater provide original tunes that nod cheekily, but with genuine affection, to that pop era while also propelling the story with a style and exuberance specific to well-crafted musical theater."
----USA Today

"Big, glitzy numbers are the toast of Broadway musicals. The only thing better? Big, glitzy numbers . . . with nuns! "Sister Act" has plenty of both—and it's one of the season's happiest surprises. Menken evokes the lush, funky sound of Philly soul without falling into mere pastiche: "When I Find My Baby" starts off like bedroom R&B before the lyrics take a hilarious turn. "Take Me to Heaven" and "Spread the Love Around" bloom into full-throttle disco epics, the latter building up to an ecstatic finale.
