“Sister Act” is a musical comedy based on the 1992 film of the same name. It tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a lounge singer who goes into witness protection as a nun after witnessing a crime. The movie stars Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris Van Cartier. The film follows Deloris as she adjusts to life in the convent and brings her unique personality and musical talent to the community, causing her to clash with the Mother Superior (played by Maggie Smith) and the other nuns. Throughout the film, Deloris helps the nuns find their voice and discover the power of music, and ultimately helps to bring the community together. The film was well-received by audiences and critics and was praised for its humor, music, and positive message, and went on to spawn a successful musical adaptation and sequels.

The musical adaptation features an upbeat and joyful soundtrack, filled with soul, Motown, and gospel-inspired numbers.
