We did Sister Act last year with a Filipino lead and it worked out well. A really fun show, although I agree with the comment about an audience familiar with Catholic tradition being more receptive to the jokes. My students LOVED it! We are just closing 'Emma! A Pop Musical' and it has been a blast! Although my students were hesitant about it at first because it is not a "big musical", they quickly got invested and the audience is loving it, which feeds their energy. Highly recommend.

I am thinking about doing SIster Act for our musical next year. I was wondering if anyone had done it with a non-african american Dolores? I am in Vermont.
