When asked what we want to be when we grow up, it’s always hard to choose between “nun” and “pop star.” But why not both? Featuring a cast stacked with Broadway veterans and scored by the Tony-winning composer Alan Menken, Sister Act is a musical about an aspiring disco diva who witnesses a mob murder and joins a nunnery for protection. Her misadventures there – evading hitmen, leading a hapless choir – will make you laugh, even if they don’t help you pick a career. 1409 H Street.
