At first she becomes a Vegas bar singer, in which she has to entertain a bunch of deadbeats. Her only reason for staying at this job is the fringe benefit of her lover Vincent (Harvey Kutel). Does Deloras know that her Featuring Prime Beef Chicken Seafood 1856 W. 4500 S., ROY, UT 84067 731-7940 love is the head man of the mob? Well she soon finds out when Vincent murders the chauffeur and she becomes the main eye witness. From that point on, Deloras finds herself in a dangerous but hilarious adventure .

Mary Clarence's last hope from being bored to death, is to teach what she know best, singing. But that isn't the only thing that she teaches these cheerful nuns. She also teaches them live life instead of hiding from it behind a dark shroud. Whoopi Golberg has always been at her best when it comes to comedy. She just never stops making the laugh. Her portrance as a nun makes anything seem possible... even a nun that knows how to "kick up her heels and shout. Whoopi Goldberg is not only a good comedian actor, but she is a great singer as well. This person is multi-talented and I say that if you have got it flaunt it and she is an expert at it all when it comes to the movies. Along with Goldberg's great voice, Marc Sharimari, music composer matched his funny lyrics in the "Sister Act." It would even make the pope wanting to strut his stuff. Joseph Howard, the screenwriter of "Sister Act," entails the idea that people of all kinds and walks can work together and put their prejudices aside completely. Thus, making communities stick together and have more fun in life and fighting over the difference that people have between one another. "Sister Act" brings togetherness and harmony entwined (or at least a melody) and sends it off to a strikingly funny ending. Because there is nothing like striking a funny chord and getting the audience members to get down with theprogram.
