Why doesn't everyone just choose the key they like the best? Kills me every time

I cannot deal with how amazingly joyful this song is. Makes me cry every time.

Marla is such a great Mary Robert! I feel that her body language perfectly conveys the character's sweet shyness without being over-the-top jittery. Especially here, when she sings the first "Gloria in exelcis deo" and Deloris makes a remark about her voice being too quiet. That little apologetic smile/quirk of her lip she gives her before retreating really sold me on her character. And the way she looks so in awe at her own untapped potential, like she herself couldn't believe it, after so many years of learning to be modest and quiet. Especially when she presses her palm to her cheek, something I've seen the movie Mary Robert do as well. And the way she seems to purse or bite her lip occasionally-- Aaarrggh, I have so many feelings for this little postulant nun!

it's a high G. Crazy how powerfull and controlled she hit's that super-high note in chest voice!!!! Lovable

This has been my 7am alarm for 7 years ever since I performed in the Amateur version at Glasgow King’s Theatre. Never fails to uplift the soul! ❤

I played Mary Patrick in my school's production of Sister Act last fall and I don't think I'll ever find a part I love as much as I did this character and show

I watch this over and over again. This. This is amazing. You literally feel joy WITH them as find out that they can sing and that when they sing its beautiful. When Marla hits that note you are just as shocked as the other Sisters are. It's just amazing. Wonderful. Truly brilliant acting. I am just sad that it went off Broadway so quickly, and kicking my self more when I didn't see it when it came to Cincinnati!

Belting a high g! Wow. That takes SKILL

That was spectacular, I see why it was up for a Tony Award

THAT RUN AT 7:28 BY SISTER MARY ROBERTS IM QUAKING

I still love this so many years after. And an absent-minded Sister Mary Martin of Tours quoting the Passion Gospel for Good Friday is funny!

"it used to set off my uncle's seizures!" LMBO

Everyone's so impressed by Mary Robert's note, but I'm more impressed with Mary Patrick's note at 3:55 . I'm playing her in an amature production of Sister Act at the moment and it's pretty difficult!!! :P

The crazy high belting is thrilling but there is a baseline kicking so much ass on this song. She’s like “no I’m not gonna blend. I’m gonna hold this whole chord up with the sheer power of my midrange belt”

patina energy always inspires me

What a performance!

Mary Lazarus is absolutely hysterical.. "So now she's got Diane Carol in here, wailin' away..."

Saw this a few weeks ago when my choir when my choir went on tour, it was sooo good! Marla Mindelle makes my world

gotta love sister Mary Roberts

If I ever make it as a film producer, one of my dream projects would be an animated feature adaptation of this show. My ideal voice cast would include Uzo Aduba as Deloris, Christine Baranski as Mother Superior, Melissa McCarthy as Mary Patrick and, if she were still alive at that point, Rita Moreno as Mary Lazerus.

6:36. The Dutch woman who played her (Christianne de Bruijn) is so good! Listen to her on this video: (perspresentatie musical sister act)

i love Patinas movement lol. and marla always blows me away

The "Pretty good huh?" sounds just like Raven Symone!

I was just in this show I love it so much

" That's soul music" is right.

that note makes me cry! SING IT, BABY!!!!

Love This!!!! Just found put this is our musical!!!!!!!

i was dying at this song, because I learned this song by a person who couldn't be more tone deaf to the point she was screaming it not singing she was screaming and that's what I hear.

Such a great number.

We have this show coming up on April 26th and May 5th @NCHS Casper WY come see it you guys... ugh im so nervous! Tickets are 10 dollars

Patina's Move and the Nuns' Moves! I love them ;)

THAT HIGH RIFF AT 7:28 I'M OBSESSED

I love when Marla tries to copy Patina at 4:54 LOL!

Phew! Good thing you didn't record this. That would be bad. At least this is definitely not a recording.

1:06 is my favorite!

7:46 “break it up” kills me every time

6:36 y’all das all i gotta say

1:13 What was that? That was possession
