TRALEE Musical Society are in the middle of a run of dates performing a musical based on the much-loved 90s film ‘Sister Act’.

The opening night was on Tuesday with performances set to continue all the way to Sunday.

So far the Tralee Musical Society’s musical adaptation of Sister Act has been wowing audiences with its high quality singing, dancing and costumes.

Sister Act, was a very successful film in the 90’s which starred Whoopi Goldberg and spawned the career of R&B singer, Lauryn Hill.

Oliver Hurley is the director of this ambitious undertaking which, by the reaction to it, was an inspired choice.
