The national tour of "Sister Act" stops at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30, State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton.

The musical comedy, inspired by the popular 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a Reno, Nevada, lounge singer whose life turns upside down when she witnesses her boyfriend commit a crime.

In order to protect Deloris, the police put her in a witness protection program, hiding her in a convent where she makes unexpected friends and teaches others the power of their own voice.

Deloris's boyfriend, Curtis Jackson, is played by Kolby Kindle, a veteran of Broadway show national tours, including "Dreamgirls" and "Beauty and the Beast."

Kindle, an Oklahoma native, is thrilled to have the opportunity to tour the United States with "Sister Act."

"I love 'Sister Act,'" he says. "It's just a good time. I have yet to see a performance where the audience is not on their feet."

With original music by Broadway music icon and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, "Sister Act" features songs not included in the movie.

The movie, "Sister Act," grossed more than $230,000 worldwide and was one of the biggest hits of 1992. "Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit" was released in 1993. The musical opened on Broadway in 2011 and closed in 2012.

"One of my favorite numbers is 'Raise Your Voice,'" says Kindle. "During that scene, Deloris convinces the nuns that they can sing. It's the break-out number in the show."

"My character, Curtis, also sings a real showstopper," he says. "It's called 'I Can Be That Guy.' Curtis sings it to Deloris when he is trying to have a relationship with her."

The stage musical differs from the movie in more ways than just the music. The stage musical is set in the 1970s, while the film took place in the 1990s.

"The time period of the 1970's really adds a lot to the show," says Kindle. "The music is more disco and funk type music.

"There's also a lot of new characters. There's so much more to the play. A lot of credit goes to the movie, though. People want to see 'Sister Act' because the movie was such a hit."

Kindle describes "Sister Act" as a show for the whole family.

"There is some adult humor, but it's really a show for everyone. Come and be prepared to laugh," he says. "Be ready to have some fun."
