Still haven't seen Sister Act yet? Well what are you waiting for people? There is no better time than right now. The show which is of course based on the hit 1992 opened at the Broadway Theatre this past April following an acclaimed run in the West End where it received a Olivier nomination for Best Actress in a Musical (Patina Miller) who reprised her role in the Broadway production. Now while the show is an audience favorite it has not taken off at the box office like most were hoping it would. Last week the show was at 72.8% capacity which compared to most shows is pretty good I guess.
They are certainly doing better than Catch Me If You Can or Priscilla Queen of the Desert. I for one hope the show is around for a while as it is great for the whole family and is by far one of the most entertaining and feel good shows to open in the last couple of seasons. Now as much I love the show I can't see the show every night. That means if you want to see Sister Act you need to support the show or it will be gone. Good seats are available for all performances. Not only that but at prices that are below face value. That's right. I said below face value. This "Special Offer"is good thru October 30 so call now. Get your tickets to see Sister Act on Broadway. You will love it.

Sister Act The Musical Now on Sale
I have to admit that when it was announced that the London production of Sister Act was coming to Broadway I wasn't that excited. My first thought was, "Here we go again. Another successful movie from the 90's turned into a big splashy Broadway musical." Be there. Done that. Now imagine my surprise when I turned into The View last week and saw a musical number from the upcoming show.
Now while the song itself didn't blown me away I can see why the producers chose to bring it's leading lady Patina Miller over from London to open the show. What a voice. Ms. Miller who will be making her Broadway debut in the leading role of nun on the run Delores Van Carter originated the role in the 2009 London production following a year long international search where she understudied the role during multiple productions in North America.
Sounds familiar doesn't it? A talented but unknown actress is plucked out of the chorus and became a star. Ding. Ding. That's right. 42nd Street. Now while there is no denying the similarity between the two I was talking about the story of another chorus girl turned leading lady. That's right. The one and only Miss Sutton Foster. You've all heard of her right?
Back in 2002 she too was floundering in the chorus of the Broadway bound Thoroughly Modern Millie when she was tapped to take over the leading role. Of course we all know what happened next. She won rave reviews and won the Tony Award that year for Best Actress in a Musical. By the way that show was produced by Whoopi Goldberg who also happens to be producing Sister Act.Will lighting strike twice? We shall see. Until next time theatre fans.
