'Sister Act'

Director Michael Brindisi's heat-generating revival of this Alan Menken musical continues to raise a righteous ruckus at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres as the show enters its final weeks. Regina Marie Williams continues to sparkle as Deloris, the profane, street-savvy singer who seeks refuge in a nunnery after seeing her gangsta boyfriend off one of his own henchmen. Deloris teaches the nuns a thing or two, and also learns from them, all the while dancing to Tamara Kangas Erickson's lyrical choreography. The standouts in this tight, funny musical include Norah Long, who evokes a deadpan Julie Andrews as Mother Superior, Britta Ollmann as a questioning postulant, Seri Johnson as a rapping sister and Andre Shoals as Deloris' boyfriend. (8 p.m. Tue., Thu.-Fri.; 1 & 8 p.m. Wed., Sat., 6:30 p.m. Sun. through Feb. 24. Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, 501 W. 78th St., Chanhassen. $50-$74. 952-934-1525 or chanhassendt.com
