Oh
Happy Day! Sister Act Live Choir
A
Live Cinema Experience
Sister Act Live Choir
Newcastle City Hall
Saturday
24th February 2018
Sister Act, the classic 1992 musical comedy starring Whoopi
Goldberg, is the latest film to receive the ‘live cinema’ treatment with the Sister Act Live Choir, UK Tour
presented by Amacoast Cinema. Film fans have been clamouring for pop-ups and
live cinema experiences in recent years, as audiences look for new,
innovative ways to enjoy the films they know and films that will turn into
instant classics. Sister Act fans from across the UK will be immersed in a fresh new cinematic, musical
experience, 25 years on after the film was first released.
Sister Act Live Choir will boast a choir made up of 35 gospel singers and
full band, as they accompany the onscreen nuns with live performances of
songs from the film soundtrack. “We are delighted to be touring this
powerful and uplifting live cinema experience” says founder, Dele Aro. Dele
added “We were delighted to see the shows connect such a large
diverse group of people together, to share a unique experience and
create new memories around a much-loved film”.
Sister Act tells the hilarious story of Vegas lounge singer
Deloris Van Cartier (played by Whoopi Goldberg), who after witnessing a murder
at the hands of her boyfriend has to enter witness protection to avoid a
similar fate. She turns to the one place that she hopes he will never look - a
Convent! Disguised as a nun Deloris woefully tries to adopt her new lifestyle
and after several false starts, she finally finds her voice at the heart of the
church choir.

Sister Act
Live Choir will feature the Uplifted Voices choir for the
show, who have featured on BBC Gospel Proms, and
provided backing choirs for the live shows on ITV’s The Voice, Britain’s
Got Talent, and The X Factor shows. One of the lead signers from
Uplifted Voices’ is the super talented Diamantina, who was born in
Germany of Kosovan parents. From refugee to rising star, Diamantina has found her strength and confidence in music and performance, and Sister Act Live Choir has enabled
her to share her talents with a much wider audience. There will also be a
special guest performance from Britain’s Got Talent Semi-finalist’s
‘Gospel Singers Incognito’ (GSI).
Sister Act
Live Choir will be an experience which unites
and electrifies the audience while bringing a classic to life in Newcastle!
