The
elaborate new stage presentation will celebrate the Emerald Isles’
spellbinding musical and cultural heritage. The concerts will combine
longtime fan favorites with new musical gems written specifically for
Celtic Woman, under the direction of Emmy®-nominated music producer
David Downes. The Emerald Tour will spotlight the angelic voices and
inspiring music that have won Celtic Woman the devotion of a worldwide
audience.
Celtic
Woman is a unique ensemble that showcases the talent and charisma of
four gifted young Irish women, whose dazzling performances combine the
sound and sensibility of Irish traditional music with contemporary pop
standards and memorable original compositions. Recently named Billboard
magazine's #1 World Music Artist, Celtic Woman presents a one-of-a-kind
concert experience that also incorporates the talents of a group of
world-class musicians, the Aontas Choir, bagpipers and championship
Irish dancers.
Since
its inception in 2004, Celtic Woman has emerged as both a spectacular
commercial success and a genuine cultural phenomenon. The group's
uplifting mix of timeless tradition and contemporary craft has
transcended national and cultural borders to touch the hearts of a loyal
international fan base, who've embraced Celtic Woman's hugely
successful public television specials and made their eight CDs and seven
DVDs into multi-platinum best-sellers. The multitalented ensemble has
sold more than eight million copies of its releases, all of which have
debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music chart. As a live act, they
continue to sell out concert halls around the world, having performed
for nearly three million fans.
Celtic
Woman has won a particularly passionate audience in America, where
their elaborately staged, visually stunning concert tours consistently
draw sellout crowds. The group has performed twice at the White House,
as well as making high-profile appearances on such American television
shows as Dancing with the Stars and the daytime drama The Bold and the
Beautiful.
Celtic
Woman recently completed a successful month-long tour of European
concerts, encompassing performances in Germany, Austria, the
Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. The busy group is currently
preparing for its third annual holiday tour of North America,
accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. The group then plans to kick
off 2014 with a rare tour of Australia.
Singing
songs of love, loss, hope and inspiration, Celtic Woman celebrates
Ireland's centuries-old musical and cultural traditions, while taking
advantage of the limitless options of state-of-the-art stage
production. The result is a breathtaking musical and theatrical
experience to be enjoyed by multiple generations of concertgoers.

SISTER ACT received
five 2011 Tony Award nominations: BEST MUSICAL, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
(Alan Menken (music)/ Glenn Slater (lyrics)), BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL
(Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane), BEST ACTRESS
IN A MUSICAL (Patina Miller) and BEST FEATURED ACTRESS IN A MUSICAL
(Victoria Clark).
SISTER ACT is produced by Whoopi Goldberg, Stage Entertainment and Troika Entertainment, featuring an original score with music by multi-Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning composer Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Enchanted), lyrics by Tony and Academy Award-nominee Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid), and a book by multi-Emmy Award winners Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (“Cheers”) with additional book material by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu, The Little Dog Laughed). Directed on Broadway by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, A Funny Thing…Forum, Smokey Joe’s Café), the production features choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia, Bombay Dreams) and is based on the Touchstone Pictures motion picture Sister Act written by Joseph Howard.
When
disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in
protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won't be found - a
convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the
rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous
disco-ness and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new
life into the church, but in doing so blows her cover. Soon it’s
nun-on-the-run time but she finds salvation in the heavenly power of her
newly found sisterhood. Based on the mega-hit feature film, SISTER ACT
features an original Alan Menken/Glenn Slater score with a vast
inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big
disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy.
SISTER ACT features scenery by Klara Zieglerova, costumes
by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Natasha Katz, and sound by John
Shivers. The music department includes Musical Supervisor Michael
Kosarin, Music Director Brent-Alan Huffman, and orchestrations by Doug
Besterman.
Elisabeth Vincentelli of The New York Post calls SISTER ACT, “One of the season’s happiest surprises! Off the charts and packed with goodies, to which we say: Amen!” Joe Dziemianowicz of The New York Daily News raves “A blessed event has landed on Broadway. Sister Act is a feel-good crowd pleaser worth celebrating. It keeps on purring from one happy moment to the next.” Charles Isherwood of The New York Times says, “When
the wimples start quivering and the nuns start rocking to raise the
Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musical comedy!” and Mark Kennedy of The Associated Press calls SISTER ACT, “In
a word, divine. This is a musical that hits all the right spots,
achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you.”
