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."
Sister Act (musical)
A second Italian production (non-replica) was staged at the Teatro Brancaccio in Rome from December 10, 2015 to January 31, 2016, produced by Viola Produzioni and Compagnia della Rancia. Belia Martín, who had understudied Deloris Van Cartier in Barcelona and the Spanish tour, led the cast, while the real-life nun Cristina Scuccia, winner of "The Voice of Italy", played Sister Mary Patrick. After the show closed in Rome, the production embarked on a national tour, opening on November 12, 2016 at the Teatro Lyrick in Assisi and finishing on March 26, 2017 at the Teatro Augusteo in Naples.
