When I heard that the movie Sister Act had been turned into a musical, I thought it seemed like a good idea that would make a good show. After going to the Pasadena Playhouse, I realize it was a “perfect” idea that makes a fantastic show! The production sparkles with fun, zest, and disco!

The Christmas season is upon us, and while it is often disparaged as being too commercialized, I believe that is just a way for us to be less and less introspective about how even now in this day of commercialism we still find ways to bond with one another.
