SHEILA Ferguson, from The Three Degrees, and Rowetta, once of Happy Mondays and later a star of the first series of The X-Factor, will be joined by the London Community Gospel Choir for The Songs Of Sister Act at the Grand Opera House, York.

The gospel show's short tour will open in York next Friday, featuring songs from the Sister Act movies, including O Happy Day, Joyful Joyful, and Shout.

Audience members are encouraged to come in fancy dress: "the more nuns the better", say producers Juxtaposed Productions.

Tickets cost £18.50, with concessions available, on 0870 606 3595.
