Carl Mullaney is currently playing Monsignor O'Hara in the West End revival of Sister Act at the Dominion Theatre.

Based on the iconic movie, Sister Act is directed by Bill Buckhurst with choreography by Alistair David. This revival was first staged at the Eventim Apollo in 2022 ahead of launching a tour which continues to run alongside the West End production.

Sister Act
has original music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, book by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner and additional book material by Douglas Carter Beane. 

Last year Carl received tremendous acclaim for his performance as Albin in the London revival of La Cage aux Folles at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.

Carl's theatre credits include: Mary Sunshine in Chicago (Adelphi, Cambridge & International Tour), Bamatabois & understudy Thenardier in Les Miserables (Sondheim, Barbican & International Tour), Booby Shevalle in Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens (Leicester Square Theatre), Man 2 in Jest End (Leicester Square Theatre), Brandi in We Raise Our Hands in The Sanctuary (Albany Theatre), General Blight in Bananaman The Musical (Southwark Playhouse), Sarah the Cook in Dick Whittington (Lyric, Hammersmith), The Diva in Frank's Closet (Hoxton Hall, Shoreditch) and Carl in Drama Queen (Unity Theatre, Liverpool).

Carl works extensively as a presenter and cabaret performer. Alongside performing at countless iconic venues in his own shows and various concerts, Carl hosts Kinky Kabaret at Freedom Bar Soho and Mighty Hoopla which is the UK’s biggest, queer, inclusive music festival. 

Recorded backstage at the Dominion Theatre, in this episode Carl discusses Sister Act rehearsal room antics, how he approached 'I Am What I Am' in La Cage aux Folles and his mindset when returning to musical theatre after a ten year hiatus... plus lots more!

Sister Act runs at the Dominion Theatre until 31st August 2024. Visit www.sisteractthemusical.co.uk for info and tickets.
