One of Whoopi Goldberg’s greatest performances is as the effervescent lounge singer Deloris Wilson in Sister Act. Deloris witnesses a mob hit and goes into hiding within a stuffy convent, much to the consternation of Mother Superior Maggie Smith. A great deal of singing and dancing ensues as Deloris chisels away at the nun’s innate stuffiness. We’re suckers for swinging nuns. The screening is accompanied by a live 35-piece gospel choir and band. Prior to the film Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists, Gospel Singers Incognito, will be setting the mood with a special performance.

Sun 1 Apr 2.30pm & 7.30pm at Symphony Hall, Broad St, Birmingham B1 2EA £27.50 www.thsh.co.uk
