I saw Sister Act on Broadway a few years ago. It was good but the tour is better. Hollis Resnick is a hoot as Mother Superior. Everyone in our party of 5 loved the show. See it.

This was my first time attending the Auditorium Theater at Roosevelt. The theater was VERY small, but it allowed for a cozy, interactive feel. My only complaint about the theater itself was the staff. The staff weren't very friendly or helpful. When I asked for help to find my seats, I felt I was imposing on their time. But overall... I enjoyed the theater experience! The show was very good! I felt the actors and actresses did a great job portraying their parts and showing off their skills! The music was fun and uplifting! I assumed the play would be similar to the movie Sister Act, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong! With a similar plot and story line, I enjoyed how the play stayed true to itself while creating a new twist on this fun story! I really enjoyed everything about the play! I cannot wait to see it again!

I was blown away by the performances, great acting, powerful singers, humor, great music, costumes, and choreography was superb! My sister-in-law saw the performance in New York last year and loved it so much she wanted to come to the Chicago performance. Go to see it if you have a chance you won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed this show very much as the singing was fantastic. There were alot of seasoned Broadway actors in the show. Many were from popular and original shows. I've never been to this theater but it was a great place to see a play. I wish more Broadway shows would come to the Auditorium. The way the seating is arranged and built, I'm sure there's not a bad seat in the house.

Great show . It may have started off a little rocky, with some sound issues, but definitely picked up steam by the end. Very entertaining and familiar - just like the movie!

Great! However the song Maria was not sung and that was upsetting as that was one of the most powerful songs in the movie!

Overall, very entertaining. Some of the songs were a bit slow at the beginning and my companion for the show fell asleep. I was involved the entire time. It was opening night and I'm not sure if the cast and crew worked on the stage before because there were a couple of set malfunctions and long dark pauses. This show could blow the roof and it did for many (standing ovation), but there were some kinks that need to be worked out.

What a fantastic show. The singing was awesome and the acting was funny, especially the male parts!!! We really loved this show! I must say I was a little dissappointed when they did not sing any familiar songs from the movie but they quickly made up for that with what they did sing.

Sister Act follows the movie story line, but is reset in Philly. Do NOT go if you are expecting a rehash of the movie music. These nuns are Disco Crazy! Great energy, characters are very enjoyable and the new music is very good. (It made me buy the CD, so I have both versions). You will leave with a smile!

As long as I can remember, Sister Act was one of my mom's favorite movies. She would always be dancing and singing along with the movie. I knew when Sister Act came to Chicago we couldn't miss it, and we were not disappointed. Hilariously entertaining with amazing voices.

I typically love all musicals, but this one...I think I just had a hard time getting past the differences between the musical and the movie. The actors were great in it and the songs were pretty good (I especially loved "When I Find My Baby"), but I didn't love it. Oh well. I still had fun and would suggest that others go see it.

What a fabulous production of Sister Act that is now playing at The Auditorium Theater!! Upbeat, fast moving, outstanding choreography, and superb singing would be just a few ways to describe this musical. EVERYONE walked out the door from this production with a smile on their face knowing they had just been thoroughly entertained. Kudos to the cast!!!

This was the perfect mother/daughter outing for me and my 12 yr old. It kept her attention and we both enjoyed ourselves. We watched the movie together in advance in order for her to know a bit about the plot. We were disappointed that the show used all original music because we were looking to hear some of the popular songs in the movie performed live. Our 4th row orchestra seats were amazing.

The play was enjoyable. Nothing fabulous. Just enjoyable. I wasn't bored so that's a good thing. The leading lady had a wonderful voice. But I can't help but wonder, whena lightbulb burns out in the middle of the ceiling, how do you change the light bulb? By the way. A few light bulbs were burned out.

The cast was enormously talented with a contagiously infectious enthusiasm for their individual roles. The play was fun, thought-provoking, and thoroughly enjoyable. We were saddened by the rather small audience; however, were told that the mantinee had more people. If there was any one thing which was a bit of detraction, it was the length of the show due to rather long, and sometimes, pointless in our opinions, songs and dances by the minor characters. The talent was certainly appreciated; however, some of those moments were entirely too long and took away from the substance of the story.

A bit too sacrileges for me. my wife loved it. I was let down that it was an original score as it was forgotten easily. The fun poked at my religion was not so bad to make me leave or shout. I heard the audience love it as evidenced by loud clapping and hooting but I chalked that up to a godless Chicago and large number of alternative lifestyle persons in attendance. I would never recommend this and I don't even want to admit I went to it.

ON a 1 - 10 having seen WICKED 11 times because of value, I expected Sister Act to come in about 6 on that same scale. It got 9.5 - 10 for sure. I can't wait to be in another city where it is playing. It was obvious the entire cast was hired based on their VOICE and not acting. That is exactly what this 20 song team needed. Although I am sure many are expecting a movie rendition, the changes made only made it more successful as a musical. I am speaking at a convention of 300 in another city today and I have told them all get tickets for May. It was easy to see why Sister Act was a "sold out" for weeks show. I will plan ahead with my travel schedule and buy within first 10 rows intentionally.

The show was very good what we could see of it. The seats that I purchased were not the seats that we got (according to the view shown of the seats to be purchased). We were in the first row but so far right of the stage that part of the show was unseen. This should affect the cost of these tickets as I paid for five orchestra level seats and was not at all impressed with the "orchestra level". Will not be purchasing tickets from ticketmaster any more unless I personally know the venue. Big disappointment!

I absolutely loved the play. It was fun, fast-paced, and the best play I've seen in Chicago for a while. However.... we left the theater wondering where the strong male leads have gone? Vince just couldn't act and his singing was wooden. This was is complete contrast to the absolutely wonderful performance of all the females in the cast. The guy behind us actually booed (which is a bit rude) - but obviously his sentiments were the same as ours. So overall it was a GREAT performance because the lead females were spectacular. We just couldn't figure out why the casting director didn't bring in some stronger male leads.

The sets and costumes were fantastic, but the talent was lackluster. The best voices were Kingsley Leggs as Curtis and Lael Van Keuren as Mary Robert. I felt the leads were disappointing; not worth the ticket price. Also, this production didn't have a single song from the movie and I think the audience expected to hear at least some of those songs.

My husband and I went on the evening before Thanksgiving, so now we are able to say "Thanks" for a wonderful evening. I found myself tapping my feet and shaking my head to the music throughout the production. We were in center section orchestra J & K. Great seats - not too close, not too far away. The two lead women were amazing. They really carried the show. I was very pleased that the words were absolutely clear in all of the songs and dialogue. So many times you can miss phrases or don't know what was sung in a song - not the case here. The set and costumes were also well done - particularly the church scenes with the lighting and the sequined costumes. I absolutely loved this performance and would highly recommend. It was light-hearted musical entertainment, and it had a nice theme. Some say it was predictable - so what? It was just sheer entertainment. Sit back and enjoy the show.

I went with a small group of 8 ranging in age from 50-89 and we all enjoyed it! Some of us had seen the movie and some had not. I did have trouble catching all the lyrics to the songs, and I am the 50-year old! Not sure if that was due to the acoustics, the music being too loud for the singing, my hearing, or not being familiar with the songs ahead of time and being able to anticipate the words. Very clever lyrics though! Great acting and singing! I saw it the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and it was a great way to kick off the holiday season!

Sister Act was wonderful. Was a little disappointed that no music from the movie was in the show. Never the less they made up for that with their wonderful performance!

It's inherently difficult to independently measure a show against an established standard, such as the original Sister Act film production in this case. A broadway show does not spend the time with non-musical dialog including the essential lines for humor that made the original film memorable. The show gets high marks for its production numbers but low marks for plot, character development, or caring about what happens to anyone in the story. The most entertaining aspect of the original story was taking the nun's chorus from a disconnected group of horribly sounding voices to a stunning chorus of broadway proportion. In this production, much of that transition was lost since even the original sounds of the group were far better than most would normally sound.

Well if you go see Sister Act pining for the sound of the '50s and the wonderful artsy rendition of one of Catholicism's favorite hymns - it won't be there. However, if you go to the show expecting Broadway at its best - then you won't be disappointed. There will be no "golden oldies" to clap along to and you're not in San Francisco anymore. It was very pleasing to see that the stage version of Maggie Smith's role had much more to do on stage and the character swings through it all triumphantly. Just remember it's the late '70s and Roman Catholics in America had no idea where the Church was heading after the hippies got through with it at Vatican II. (just kidding, but seriously, Catholics had no clue). And don't be confused: Paul VI was a lot skinnier than Benedict XVI and no, that wasn't JPII, standing there, right???

Sister Act...was it's own show. I really liked that it had it's own interpretation. We would like to have heard a couple of songs from the movie...My Guy and Ave Maria. Besides that the show was outstanding, with some powerful singers. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Sister Act was good but it would have been even better if it had songs from the movie. Although I was disappointed about not hearing those songs, it was still a great production.

I loved the play but I would have loved it even more if the music from the movie would have been part of the play.

We saw "Sister Act" in London a few years back, this production was even better. Ms. Resnik, a local favorite, showed us she still has a grand voice and has the moves for this "grooving" Musical.
