Patina Miller to Star on Broadway

Sister Act played to over a million people during its run at the London Palladium. The show will open on Broadway on April 20, 2011, with Olivier-nominated star Patina Miller reprising her West End role as “Deloris” (a part made famous on screen by Whoopi Goldberg). The Sister Act UK Tour is scheduled to open at the Manchester Opera House on Tuesday October 04, 2011 (with previews beginning Thursday September 29, 2011). Whoopi Goldberg did appear briefly in the West End production when she stepped into the role of “Mother Superior” replacing Sheila Hancock towards the end of the show’s run.

Hilarious Screen Comedy Comes to the Stage

Sister Act is the hilarious musical comedy based on the 1992 movie that starred Whoopi Goldberg as a nightclub singer, “Deloris Van Cartier”, who goes into hiding from the mob after witnessing a murder. A nun's convent seems the perfect place to lie low, except Deloris can't help herself from taking over the convent's choir and becoming the centre of attention. Best described as 'heavenly good fun' - Sister Act heads on a UK tour after raising the roof at the London Palladium.
