That's right theatre fans. Sister Act has found a home. The show which is being produced by Whoopi Goldberg will be begin previews at the Broadway Theatre on March 24, 2011 with opening night set for April 20. Now while the movie has always been a personal favorite of mine I have never been big on movie to stage transfers.
Except for a few exceptions like The Full Monty and The Producers most of those lack the heart and soul that the movies have. Maybe this time it will be different. Also according to an article in today's New York Post it was announced that the shows writers have been ousted in favor of Tony nominated scribe Douglas Carter Beane. Now as of now this is all hearsay. However I would not be surprised if it happens.
The Post has a great track record when it comes to the news. We shall see. Until then we can speculate on who will star in the upcoming show. My guess is they will keep Patina Miller who earned raves for her portrayal of show girl turned nun on the run Deloris and seek some big name movie and Broadway stars for some of the supporting roles. Let the games begin. Until next time theatre fans.
