Sister Act (musical)
Elysa Gardner of "USA Today" gave the show three and a half out of four stars and said, "Sister Act: A Divine Musical Comedy may be less giddily profane, and thought-provoking, than "The Book of Mormon", but it 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."
Sidney Jones (composer)
Jones then worked for Henry Leslie for nearly four years as conductor of tours of Alfred Cellier's comic opera hit "Dorothy" (starring Lucy Carr Shaw, sister to George Bernard Shaw), "Doris" and "The Red Hussar". He was then music director for a tour of the Gaiety Theatre piece "Little Jack Sheppard" under the management of comedian J. J. Dallas. After that, George Edwardes hired him as musical director for the Gaiety Theatre's 1891 tour of America and Australia, conducting the burlesques "Ruy Blas and the Blasé Roué" and "Cinder-Ellen Up-too-Late". He briefly returned to conducting in the British provinces, but in 1892, after nine years of touring, Edwardes hired Jones to conduct the musical "In Town" at the Prince of Wales Theatre on London's West End. He next was musical director for another West End musical, "Morocco Bound" (1893), and for the London production of "The Gay Parisienne" (1896).
