Set in 1970s Philadelphia, the plot follows Deloris, who witnesses a mob hit and is placed in witness protection at a convent, posing as a nun. Initially out of place in the quiet, conservative world of the church, Deloris uses her lively, secular personality to rejuvenate the convent's struggling choir, turning it into a powerhouse that brings the community together.

"...A 1992 musical crime comedy film, SISTER ACT starred Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith, and Harvey Keitel and proved to be one of the most financially successful comedies of the early 1990s - and the most rented film in the U.S. in 1993. The movie earned American Comedy Awards for Whoopi Goldberg (funniest actress in a motion picture in a leading role) and Kathy Najimy (funniest supporting actress in a motion picture), as well as the NAACP Image Award for Whoopi Goldberg as the outstanding actress in a motion picture."

"...That verve is particularly apparent in Krysten V. Williams's spirited performance as Deloris Van Cartier, the nightclub singer who must take shelter in a South Philly convent after witnessing a murder. Williams is ably seconded by Kim Peterson as the Mother Superior, who views Deloris as an unholy disruption to the convent's peace and serenity. As Sister Mary Robert, the postulant who begins to question her vocation under Deloris's worldly influence, sweet-voiced Bethany Haspel nails her solo, "The Life I Never Led." And, buoyed by the imaginative choreography of Meghan Ripchik, the ensemble of "nuns" makes a joyful noise in their group gospel numbers - musical highlights which raise the rafters along with the show's professional expertise."
