Sister Act tells the story of Deloris Wilson (Whoopi Goldberg), a wise-cracking lounge singer in Reno, Nevada. When she witnesses someone being murdered by her mobster boyfriend, Deloris goes on the run, taking refuge in the one place she assumes he’ll never think to look: a convent.

The original Sister Act film featured a script by Paul M. Rudnick and the late, great Carrie Fisher (writing under the pseudonym Joseph Howard). Despite a mixed critical reception it was one of the most financially successful films of the early 1990s, and over the years has become a cult favourite.

A sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit was released in 1993. Goldberg herself has hinted that she wouldn’t be opposed to taking part in a Sister Act 3, although she sounds comfortable with the story being told on stage rather than on camera for now.

“I would love to do it, but we sort of sent it out on stage – world domination, it’s in all these different countries,” she told Out magazine last September. “But should they ever make a three it would be lots of fun. I think people would like it.”

Tickets for the Sister Act Live Choir start at £35. For more information, see amacoastcinema.com. We’ll see you in church…
