A Sunday Habit

Along with going to church and having an afternoon nap, usually not at the same time, my Sundays now have an additional habit. Some members from the cast of the national touring production of “Sister Act: The Musical” provides some heavenly delight with their weekly offering of #SIC or Sunday Intermission Cover. It’s a couple minutes of pure entertainment that I look forward to every week.

There’s no let-up in cast members Ashley Moniz (Sister Mary Robert), Chris Cooke (Ensemble), Tad Wilson (Joey), and occasionally others who every Sunday during the 15 minute intermission record a favorite cover song. The video is posted online with the hash tag SIC and is quickly spread amongst their fans. Covers they have done include “Wake Me Up” and of course the very popular “Let it Go.” I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until “Happy” is added to the list.

Those who have seen “Sister Act: The Musical” are well aware of the talented voices involved and #SIC is a further opportunity to enjoy them. Their vocal range is impressive and likely strong enough to part the Red Sea. The videos are just a few minutes long, but in addition to their savory voices, a laugh or two is always sure to be included. Their efforts deserve praise as rather than using the intermission to catch their breath, they continue to entertain.

I was fortunate to see “Sister Act: The Musical,” earlier this year when it Dayton, and am grateful for the opportunity to still enjoy the talents contained within the show. It all didn’t end when the curtain closed, as #SIC  provides an encore. Seriously, how many shows can you say that about?
These devoted actors care enough about their audience to reach out to them on a weekly basis and keep spreading cheer.

One of the major players in #SIC is Ashley Moniz, its appropriate she’s playing a nun because her voice is angelic. Her spirit is also as sweet as the music she makes. Chris Cooke and Tad Wilson are equally gifted and appear to be as endearing off stage as they are on.

Whether you have seen “Sister Act: The Musical” or not, I suggest making #Sic part of your Sunday habit. I’ll even get you started. Click Here.
