She tries to hide herself as they ask people in the bar if they've seen Deloris. However, the joyful mood is quickly destroyed when Deloris recognises Shank's boys entering the bar. Deloris goes along with this idea and gets the whole bar dancing ("Do the Sacred Mass"). When the three nuns arrive they are shocked to find Sister Mary Clarence (Deloris' undercover name) drinking and dancing, however they assume that she is attempting to save the lost souls in the bar. She goes across the street to a slinky bar, and is followed by Sister Mary Lazarus, Sister Mary Patrick, and Sister Mary Robert. Back at the convent Deloris is bored by the simple life of the nuns and decides to hit the town. He tells his goons how he will not stop until he finds and kills Deloris ("When I Find My Baby"). Meanwhile back in his nightclub, Shank is frustrated that he cannot find Deloris anywhere.
They then ask Deloris to share her story with them and she lies. Deloris joins the other nuns for dinner and after several comedic interactions with the overly perky Sister Mary Patrick, Deloris discovers how the other nuns got their "calling" from the Lord ("How I Got the Calling"). Eddie decides that Deloris needs to go into the witness protection program and sends her to the place he believes Shank will never find her - a convent called The Holy Order of the Little Sisters of Our Mother of Perpetual Faith.ĭeloris is disappointed by this idea as she learns from the Mother Superior that contact with the outside world is limited, and that she cannot smoke, drink, or wear any of her less than appropriate clothing ("Here Within These Walls"). The two recognise each other as old friends from school with Deloris calling him "Sweaty Eddie". Deloris runs to a police station and tells the desk chief, Eddie, about what happened. Horrified, Deloris runs away and Shank orders his men to get her and bring her back. However she gets to Shank just in time to see him and his crew made up of nephew TJ, Bones, and Dinero, shoot someone who they believe has "squealed" about them to the cops. She decides to break up with Shank and head out of Philadelphia to go fulfill her dreams on her own.
Hurt and frustrated, Deloris goes to her backup singers KT and LaRosa, about her dreams of stardom and fame ("Fabulous, Baby!"). Deloris is overjoyed as she believes her boyfriend is going to introduce her to a record producer on that day (her birthday), although she soon learns that this is not to be. In Philadelphia, Mother Superior declares that the convent is in need ( Prologue) before Deloris Van Cartier, crowned 'Lady Fabulous' of 1978, is seen performing in the night club run by her gangster boyfriend Curtis Shank ("Take Me to Heaven"). 2.1 Original productions, Pasadena and Atlanta.
