A LIVE 35-piece gospel choir and band will accompany the on-screen nuns when the film Sister Act opens at Leeds Town Hall.
The feel-good musical will be staged on Saturday, March 3 accompanied by the Uplifted Voices choir - featured on The Voice and The X Factor - giving powerful, goosebump-inducing performances of songs like My God and I Will Follow Him.
Sister Act tells the story of Vegas lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier (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.
A spokesman said: "To get you into a soul-stirring gospel mood, the show opens with a special guest gospel performance. A brand new and unique live cinema experience that you’ll thank god you didn’t miss. Please note, Sister Act is rated a PG as some scenes may be unsuitable for young children."
Tickets cost £26.50 to £19.08 and are available from the City Centre Box Office on 0113 376 0318 or online at www.leedstownhall.co.uk.
