The 1992 movie Sister Act starring Whoopi Goldberg was a smash hit in cinemas and is still a favorite for lots of people two decades later.

If you love it and happen to be holidaying in a New York hotel in 2012, why not celebrate its 20th birthday by seeing the musical it spawned?

The show opened on Broadway last year and received much critical acclaim, even being nominated for a raft of Tony Awards.

Like the movie upon which it was based, Sister Act the Musical tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, who dreams of being a famous singer.

However, she is forced into witness protection when she sees her boyfriend murder someone and joins a convent under duress.

When she is made to sing in the choir, her voice is a revelation and results in the church receiving much more money in donations - but her higher profile could be putting her in danger.

Patina Miller takes on the lead role in a show full of glitz and lively songs that consistently wows audiences and critics.

Its website promises to leave you "jumping for joy", so why not see for yourself what all the excitement is about.

Good news for guests of the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York too, as the Broadway Theatre is so close you might even spot it from your window.
