When it ran on Broadway, it was called a 鈥渄elightful, sparkling hit鈥 and 鈥渢he best American comedy in more than a decade.鈥 鈥淪abrina Fair鈥 charms the audience with a strong female character, witty dialogue, and plenty of romance and comedy. Based on the movie Sabrina.
The sensational feel-good musical comedy smash, 鈥淪ister Act鈥 is a riot a minute! Based on the 1992 film, it features incredible music by Oscar and Tony winning composer Alan Menken, and when it played on Broadway, it was called 鈥渙ne of the happiest surprises鈥 that 鈥渉its all the right spots.鈥澛 Nominated for several Tony Awards including Best Musical, 鈥淪ister Act鈥 is a celebration of music and a pure joy to experience!聽
