Musical is back in the habit for tour

Running from February 7 - 12 at the Millennium Forum, tickets are on sale now.

Reimagined for the 21st century, the show stars West End powerhouse Brenda Edwards (Hairspray, Chicago, Loose Women) in the specially rewritten role of Deloris Van Cartier, TV and stage star Lesley Joseph (Birds of a Feather, Young Frankenstein) as Mother Superior, and Olivier Award winner Clive Rowe as Eddie Souther.

Now set in 2021, this sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music tells the hilarious story of the 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.

Taking on the role made famous in the hit film by Whoopie Goldberg. Brenda Edwards dons the habit for the UK tour.

Brenda’s life changed forever when she entered The X Factor in 2005. A semi-finalist, she left the audience and judges spellbound week after week culminating in a 27 date X Factor UK arena tour. Soon after she was presented with the Screen Nation Award for Favourite Reality TV Star.

Since then she has gone on not only to record a solo album but also become one of London’s most sought-after Leading Ladies

Featuring original music by Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Enchanted) and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, this joyous and hilarious musical is one nostalgia-filled trip you will never forget.

Tickets for the Londonderry dates, priced £27.00-£44.50, are on sale now from the Box Office and online at www.millenniumforum.co.uk.
