After drawing over 100,000 enthusiastic visitors, the nuns are returning to Germany and Austria in the spring of 2026 to present a heavenly show experience based on the cult film of the same name, written by and starring Whoopi Goldberg.

Showtime at the convent: When disco diva Deloris suddenly has to go into hiding at the convent, two worlds collide: With her groove, she stirs up the church choir, strikes up entirely new tunes penned by eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, and creates divine chaos. Secure the best seats for Sister Act now and look forward to a divine spectacle full of heavenly humor, beloved characters, and a rousing soundtrack that sweeps the dust off the hymnals and is guaranteed to have every audience on their feet.

Runtime: Tue, 18/08/2026 to Sun, 06/09/2026

From Nightclub to Convent

After her performance, nightclub singer Deloris van Cartier accidentally witnesses a murder—and suddenly finds herself in the witness protection program. Instead of glamorous stage lights, a conservative convent awaits her, where she is supposed to hide out as a humble nun—much to the chagrin of the strict Mother Superior…

Deloris is meant to join the church choir to become part of the community, but the nuns can't hit a single note, so she takes over as choir director. Under her leadership, every service turns into an event, and the masses attract ever-larger audiences. But when they are finally invited to perform for the Pope, the gangsters catch wind of Deloris's whereabouts, putting the nuns in unexpected and great danger…
