Sister Act is Broadway’s feel-amazing musical comedy smash! The New York Post calls it “ridiculously funny,” and audiences are jumping to their feet in total agreement! Featuring original music by 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), Sister Act tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to rejoice!

“To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at Sister Act — a show people think they know but are pleasantly surprised to discover is not what they were expecting — is a magical experience for a producer,” says Producer Whoopi Goldberg. “Happily, audiences across the country will be able to get in on the fun this fall when Deloris and her fabulous sisters start spreading the love nationwide.”

Sister Act will play at the famous Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. The theatre is owned and operated by The Nederlander Organization. Founded by David T. Nederlander, the Nederlander Organization began in 1912 with the purchase of a 99-year lease on the old Detroit Opera House. Now into their third generation of theatre development, ownership, management, and production, the Nederlander Organization is clearly one of the largest, most experienced operators of live theatre in the world. Under the guidance of its Chairman, James M. Nederlander, the company owns and/or operates more than 20 stage venues worldwide.

In the heart of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard, right down the block from Vine Street, stands the Pantages Theatre. It’s a fitting location: The Pantages has become one of the greatest landmarks of Hollywood, signifying both the glorious past and adventuresome future of the world’s entertainment capital.

Pantages Theatre has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen fare which audiences have flocked to enjoy there for half a century. These days it’s one of Los Angeles’ leading homes of legitimate theatre (the five highest-grossing weeks in L.A.’s theatrical history were all shows at the Pantages) and a favorite “location” for tv shows, movies, and music videos. In the past, it has been a movie house, with live vaudeville acts between features as well as the site of many gala premieres and “spectaculars.” For ten years the Pantages Theatre was the home of the glittering Academy Awards Presentations.

Big hair and rock ballads are back! At least for a week with Broadway’s smash hit musical, Rock Of Ages. I had the opportunity to attend the show and have to admit; I sang along to almost every song and laughed throughout the show.

Rock Of Ages combines comedy and musical theater to tell the story of two love struck kids trying to make it big in Hollywood. The cast and live band pull off a face-melting performance sure to take you back to the 80’s. The show takes place at the famous Pantages Theatre in Hollywood; parking was easy to find and the theater offers drinks and snacks.

Los Angeles paints the backdrop for Rock Of Ages both on stage and throughout its development. The show started at the King King club in Hollywood in 2005. After playing four shows over two days, the show then played one show at the Warner Brothers soundstage. In 2006, the show premiered at the Hollywood nightclub, The Vanguard, where it played for six weeks. The show is now a five-time Tony Award nominated headliner that serves up some dirty Steel Panther humor and rad guitar shredding from the live band. I was still singing “Don’t Stop Believing” as I walked down Hollywood Boulevard leaving the theater.

This is a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the hit songs of rockers like Journey, STYX, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more. I highly recommend this show and will attend again.
