Hey Sister

Augustine's    10 - 23 August @ 22.35    Hearty Productions

Set in a hospital ward with 3 patients – an old grumpy man who has been there for years and has no visitors, a bright cheerful Christian lady who shines her light at every opportunity and a young Opera star who has just fallen off the stage and thought he would be in a private room. This is a ward full of opportunities for clashes and there are indeed a few tantrums and tensions.

Throw into that mix the Sister whose optimism and eternal hope tries to bring them all together to put on a musical concert for the other patients. She tries to persuade the Opera singer to help her in her quest and in doing so, she helps him from his self centeredness to seeing that everyone has something to offer. The ward is staffed by 3 blonde triplet nurses who bring a flirty harmony to the numbers in the show.

Romance blossoms on the ward with the Lothario Latin lover of a Doctor and the stiffly starched Health Inspector and lives are changed. There is a beautiful rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from the whole cast. Some fun and original numbers make this a production that the audience really enjoyed.
