Sister Act the Musical is set to embark on a UK and Ireland tour beginning September 2027. The production will revisit the story of Deloris Van Cartier as she helps a convent choir find its voice, featuring a notable creative team and fresh casting.

The Sister Act tour will open at New Wimbledon Theatre on 11 September 2027, marking the start of a multi-city run across the UK and Ireland. The musical follows disco singer Deloris Van Cartier, who enters protective custody in a convent after witnessing a murder, transforming a struggling choir along the way.

The show features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and a book by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner, with additional material by Douglas Carter Beane. Direction is by Bill Buckhurst, choreography by Alistair David, and design contributions include Morgan Large (set and costume), Tim Mitchell (lighting) and Tom Marshall (sound). Musical supervision is overseen by Stephen Brooker.

The tour will stop at Sunderland Empire, Sheffield Lyceum, Alhambra Theatre Bradford, Manchester Palace Theatre, and Cliffs Pavilion Southend among others. It continues into 2028 with dates at Alexandra Birmingham, Wales Millennium Centre Cardiff, Theatre Royal Nottingham, Theatre Royal Brighton, and Orchard Theatre Dartford.

Further onward stops include Theatre Royal Plymouth, Hull New Theatre, Mayflower Theatre Southampton, Grand Opera House Belfast, Millennium Forum Derry and New Theatre Oxford. Dates for a Dublin engagement are yet to be announced, alongside other additional tour locations.

The tour is produced by Jamie Wilson, and ticket sales for the opening venues will begin on 21 October 2026, with other venues releasing tickets across November and December 2026. Initial casting details for the production have also been revealed.

This tour adds to Sister Act’s enduring appeal, revisiting its blend of comedy, music and community spirit across a wide geographical stretch of theatres in the UK and Ireland. It demonstrates continuing demand for musical theatre rooted in popular film adaptations and celebrated creative teams.
