The stage version first premiered in California in 2006. It quickly went on to enjoy runs in the West End of London, Broadway, and all over the world. With rights now available through Musical Theatre International, there\u2019s no better time to bring these plucky nuns to your own stage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book, written by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner, follows the same basic story of the movie. However, the writers have set the time period to the late \u201870s and raised the comedy and sass level to the rafters! A whole roster of new musical numbers by Alan Menken (lyrics by Glenn Slater) showcase the humor and heart of this story of sin, faith, and redemption in a way that only live musical theatre can. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focusing on powerful vocals and the charisma of its characters, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sister Act<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is relatively easy to stage in any venue &#8212; which means that adding just the right backdrops can take it up to the next level!

A few bar tables and chairs, and this hilarious and pivotal scene would come to life right before your audience\u2019s eyes!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Inside the Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/backdrops\/stone-wall-008-01460\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/STONE-WALL-with-Frame-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"STONE WALL Professional Scenic Sister Act Backdrop\" class=\"wp-image-4538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/STONE-WALL-with-Frame-1024x526.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/STONE-WALL-with-Frame-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/STONE-WALL-with-Frame-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/STONE-WALL-with-Frame.jpg 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deloris tries to fit in better by joining the choir. However, she immediately recognizes that they\u2019re absolutely terrible. Inspired, Mother Superior suggests that Deloris lead them. Initially daunted, Deloris quickly shows an aptitude by bringing some soul into the singing sisters and breaking Sister Mary Robert out of her shell (\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise Your Voice<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). That next Sunday, they raise the roof with a lively rendition of \u201cTake Me to Heaven\u201d. The nuns are delighted, the church is rejuvenated, and Mother Superior is utterly horrified. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great option here would be to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3613\/quiet-chapel-interior-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quiet Chapel Interior backdrop<\/a> again for the rehearsal scenes, but you\u2019ll want something really intimate for Deloris\u2019 soul-searching moments and Sister Mary Robert\u2019s ballad. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/2115\/stone-wall-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stone Wall backdrop<\/a> would make an excellent \u201cblank canvas\u201d that still matches the church aesthetic. The light-colored stones are a good match, and with creamy amber and cool details, it offers a lot of lighting options.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Curtis on the Hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the top of Act 2, the charismatic choir is growing wildly in popularity (\u201c<\/span>Sunday Morning Fever<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d) &#8211; which presents a problem, as Deloris is still trying to stay under cover. Indeed, Curtis recognizes her from a publicity photo and orders his crew to pick her up (\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lady in the Long Black Dress<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). Meanwhile, the nuns find out that their church will be visited by the pope and nervously look forward to their biggest performance yet (\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bless Our Show<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). However, Deloris won\u2019t be able to enjoy it as her cover is blown and she needs to leave the church as quickly as possible. She finds herself unexpectedly reluctant to leave, having bonded with the nuns, even Mother Superior (&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here Within These Walls (Reprise)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On her last night in the convent, Deloris is visited by an inspired Sister Mary Robert (\u201cT<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Life I Never Led<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). Panicked, Deloris dreams of resuming her singing career (&#8220;F<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abulous, Baby! (Reprise)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;), but realizes how much she really gained at the convent and what she stands to lose (\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sister Act<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day, Curtis and his crew don nun\u2019s attire and hunt for Deloris. A wild cat-and-mouse chase ensues, as the nuns desperately try to protect their newest Sister. Curtis catches Deloris, however, and puts a gun to her head. Before he can pull the trigger, the nuns show up and stand before her, ready to die for her (&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sister Act (Reprise)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;). With a last-minute rescue by Eddie, Curtis and crew get arrested and Deloris is saved. She and the Mother Superior come to terms, and Deloris &#8211; under her real name now &#8211; leads the choir in a rousing final number in front of the Pope himself (&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spread the Love Around<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Finale Backdrops<\/h2>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) { \r\n\tjQuery( '#slider-pro-3-4540' ).sliderPro({\r\n\t\t\/\/width\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 1000,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/height\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 500,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/auto play\r\n\t\t\t\tautoplay:  true,\r\n\t\tautoplayOnHover: 'none',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayDelay: 5000,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tarrows: true,\r\n\t\tbuttons: true,\r\n\t\tsmallSize: 500,\r\n\t\tmediumSize: 1000,\r\n\t\tlargeSize: 3000,\r\n\t\tfade: true,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/thumbnail\r\n\t\tthumbnailArrows: true,\r\n\t\tthumbnailWidth: 120,\r\n\t\tthumbnailHeight: 120,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tthumbnailsPosition: 'bottom',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcenterImage: true,\r\n\t\timageScaleMode: 'cover',\r\n\t\tallowScaleUp: true,\r\n\t\t\t\tstartSlide: 0,\r\n\t\tloop: true,\r\n\t\tslideDistance: 5,\r\n\t\tautoplayDirection: 'normal',\r\n\t\ttouchSwipe: true,\r\n\t\tfullScreen: true,\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"slider-pro-3-4540\" class=\"slider-pro\">\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div start ---->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slides\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"NOTRE DAME INTERIOR Professional Scenic Sister Act Backdrop with Frame\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NOTRE-DAME-INTERIOR-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"SAINT PATRICK&#039;S CATHEDRAL Professional Scenic Sister Act Backdrop with Frame\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SAINT-PATRICKS-CATHEDRAL-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Musical Notes Professional Scenic Grease Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/MUSICAL-NOTES-with-Frame-e1597351750225.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Musical Notes Professional Scenic Header and Legs Set, Grease\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/MUSICAL-NOTES-HEADER-AND-LEGS-SET-with-Frame-e1597351755981.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div end ---->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- slides thumbnails div end -->\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\/* Layout 3 *\/\r\n\/* border *\/\r\n#slider-pro-3-4540 .sp-selected-thumbnail {\r\n\tborder: 4px solid #000000;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* font + color *\/\r\n.title-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n.desc-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #00000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* bullets color *\/\r\n.sp-button  {\r\n\tborder: 2px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-button  {\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color -
