As adapted by the book writers Cheri and Bill Steinkellner and scored by Alan Menken (music) and Glenn Slater (lyrics), this sentimental story of a bad girl showing the good sisters how to get down has all the depth of a communion wafer, and possibly a little less bite. This means that Alan Menken's score (with lyrics by Glenn Slater) is heavy on the light funk and Philly soul, while Cheri and Bill Steinkellner's serviceable book weaves in references to cheese steaks at the drop of a wimple. Next season we may have to start rationing. Since Whoopi Goldberg is one of the producers of the musical, I had seen clips from a rehearsal which were shown on "The View" after Whoopi's trip to London for the opening of the musical. Nor would Slater's gently sardonic lyrics give Tom Lehrer a run for his "Vatican Rag" money. Make no mistake — this show has some groan-worthy creaks in its dramaturgy. Despite the ministrations of these shtickmeisters the show remains tame, innocuous and frankly a little dull. Like Stanwyck's Sugar O'Shea, Deloris brings passion and hip attitude to her rescuers, while they teach her about community and help her find a much-needed dash of self-control. Between the gaudy parade of eye-poppingly shiny garb in “Sister Act” (by Lez Brotherston) and the jamboree of outlandish drag in “Priscilla,” the amount of glittery costuming on Broadway has perhaps reached a historic peak. But after a few weeks hearing about sold-out shows for its latest production, the musical “Sister Act,” the buzz grew too loud to ignore. In order to pad out a slight story, every key member of the cast also has to be given a number. Sheila Hancock lends the show some needed gravitas as the Mother Superior, but even this is vitiated by an excruciating line in which she says, of the intrusive gangsters: "They had bulges in their pockets but I doubt they were pleased to see me.". Sister Act: Theater Review. Presented by Ms. Goldberg and Stage Entertainment, in association with the Shubert Organization and Disney Theatrical Productions. (Hence the musical, duh.)
