Sister Act

Today I visited The Grand in Leeds to watch the production of Sister Act. I really enjoyed this production. Unfortunately, since I watched the matinee, Alexandra Burke did play the part of Deloris but Joanna Francis, who played Deloris instead, did an amazing job. The costumes reflected the setting of the production, which was the 1970s, well so I was quickly able to identify the year through the use of platform heels, short skirts, flared jeans and pointed shirt collars. The Nuns costume were also correct and I could easily identify them as Nuns clothing. In the final scene, when the Nun were singing to the pope, I liked the fact that Deloris was still wearing something that identified as a nun costume but reflected her personality. This was done through making the costume tightly fitted and covered in sequins. The used of black and white and its placement also made her dress relate to Nun's clothing. I also liked the set since it worked and flowed well with the scenes through the use of disco balls, jail bars and lit signs. I also enjoyed the moveable element of it.
