‘a divine dazzling triumph that has to be seen to be believed’ Manchester Evening news

Denise Black is probably best known as siren hairdresser Denise Osbourne in Coronation Street.  Other television credits include Denny’s mad, bad mum in Bad Girls, Hazel, the mum all gay men wanted in Queer as Folk, as well as Robin Hood, Doc Martin, Small Island, Sensitive Skin, Dalziel and Pascoe, New Tricks, No Angels, Midsomer Murders, A Touch of Frost, The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Vice.  On stage she has worked at every major producing theatre in the UK in work as diverse as Chekhov, Wesker and Albee to Ayckbourn, Shaw and Lorca.  She recently toured the country in Grumpy Old Women Live! and won the Manchester Evening News Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Roots at the Royal Exchange.  Denise is also the lead singer of the folk-rock band The Loose Screw who gig extensively around the UK and recently sold out a week-long engagement at Pizza on the Park.

Liverpool born actor Michael Starke is best known for his role as Thomas "Sinbad" Sweeney in popular soap Brookside, which he played for 16 years.  He was also a series regular playing Kenneth Hopkirk in Sunday night ITV1 drama The Royal.  In 2007 he joined the cast of ITV1’s Coronation Street as kebab shop owner Jerry Morton.  Previous stage credits include The Play What I Wrote, Anything Goes, The Rocky Horror Show, Hamlet, numerous pantomime appearances, and most recently the UK tour of Hairspray as Edna Turnblad which was at the Alhambra Theatre in 2010.

‘the show fires on all cylinders from opening curtain to that brilliant Holy Father-endorsed finale. Pray you catch it while you can.’ Oldham Chronicle

Based on the smash hit movie of the same name, this fabulous, family-friendly, feel-good show is packed with songs inspired by Motown, funk, soul and disco by eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun she quickly finds fans amongst her fellow ‘sisters’ but makes the wrong impression on the convent’s strict Mother Superior.  But when she turns her attention to the church’s off-key choir, helping the nuns to find their true voices and breathing new life into the rundown neighbourhood, her cover could be blown for good.  With the gang giving chase, is time running out for Deloris?  Or have they underestimated the power of her new found Sisterhood?

More than a million people saw SISTER ACT in the West End and now, as the habit hits the road in this multi-million pound production, you too can see why musical audiences fell in love with the funniest and funkiest nun on the run, and her heavenly sequinned sisters!
