ALEXANDRA Burke returns to the Grand Theatre in Leeds next month in a second musical.

She took Leeds by storm earlier this year in The Bodyguard, and is now appearing in another musical adaptation of a 1990s film hit, Sister Act.

The show, based on the movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith, is a comedy about disco diva Deloris Van Cartier.

Deloris’s life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder, and 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.

The new production of Sister Act is directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood with musical supervision and arrangements by Tony Award winner Sarah Travis.

Alexandra Burke will perform as Deloris Van Cartier at all evening performances, and during matinee performances the role will be played by Joanna Francis.

Sister Act is at the Grand from August 22 to 27.

Ayckbourn’s comedy play Relatively Speaking will star Robert Powell and Lisa Godard at the Grand from August 30 to September 3.

A young man plans to propose to his girlfriend so he visits her parents to ask permission, arriving in the wrong garden on a Sunday morning.

The “beautifully crafted, wonderfully funny and charmingly English” play was Ayckbourn’s first great West End success.

The Daily Telegraph has described the 1967 play as the most brilliant comedy of misunderstandings to have been written in the past 40 years.
