A perennial crowd-pleaser, the nuns on the run show has never fallen out of favour and despite some copyright hurdles director Bill Backhurst's version delivers the hits.
I was at Sister Act on Tuesday night it was a really fabulous show we had such a feel good experience . Just to note you really need to amend your review of the performance as it is incorrect. “Steady Eddie “ was actually played by Callum Martin at that performance as a reviewer you should give the well deserved praise to the actual performer who played the part on the night . The cast changes were posted on the door of the auditorium which you must have seen as you name checked other changes to the wonderful cast. There were a lot of covers and swing changes that night and they all need to be applauded as they all did a fabulous job . Below please find the posting which appeared on the auditorium door.
I'm looking forward to seeing this show on Saturday. It would be interesting to know why Cork seems to be off the main touring circuit for musicals because there is clearly an audience here for good shows.
I think you're right the audiences are here Jason but the venues aren't. It's not just musicals, it's aslo bands which are routinely skipping Cork for Limerick, Galway and of course Dublin. We simply don't have the venues to accommodate them, or the ones we do are booked up fast.
