REVIEW: Divine Sister Act gets audience dancing - but one star really stood out
I spent most of the decade as a teenager, draped in flannel shirts and ripped jeans, listening to grunge on my Walkman, and gaming on the PlayStation. When I wasn't playing Tekken, I was in the cinema watching some of the best films the 90s had to offer - Jurassic Park, The Rock, Terminator 2, and Sister Act.
It's the convent's Mother Superior we first meet, played by Lesley Joseph - probably best known for playing Dorien Green in Birds of a Feather. She may be tiny, but she dominates the stage, her perfect comic timing meaning she steals almost ever scene she's in - and for a woman in her late 70s, she puts my dancing skills to shame.
The sisters themselves are an eccentric and eclectic mix. From the slightly senile Sister Mary Theresa, to choir leader Sister Mary Lazarus, and bubbly Sister Mary Patrick, the actors bounce off each other and clearly have a lot of fun with their roles.
