Sister Act: Starring Alexandra Burke
Directed and Choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood. At the Brighton Centre 11th – 14th January 2017.
The Brighton Centre is delighted to announce that Curve’s all new production of the hit musical comedy Sister Act, directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood, will be appearing at the venue from Wednesday 11th to Saturday 14th January 2017 as part of the show’s UK tour.
Starring Alexandra Burke and based on the smash hit movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith, Sister Act tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier (Burke), a disco diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a Convent! Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
Alexandra Burke originally rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor. Her debut number one single Hallelujah sold over one million copies in the UK, a first for a British female soloist. Burke’s first album, Overcome saw the release of her subsequent number one singles Bad Boys and Start Without You. In 2011 she embarked on her first solo tour and was invited by Beyoncé to support her I Am… Tour. Her second album, Heartbreak on Hold, was released in June 2012. She has since gone on to perform in the both the West End and UK tour of The Bodyguard before starting her role as Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act.
