As we approach May the highly anticipated stage show is to open in the West End.
Whoopi Goldberg and Stage Entertainment have joined forces to produce the premiere of Sister Act, a new musical comedy based on the international hit movie.
The show will open at the London Palladium on Tuesday 2 June 2009 with previews from Wednesday 6 May.
The musical which first premiered in the US in 2006, opening in Pasadena, California now to premiered at the West End with the promise of success.
After the first week tickets were released for sale 1million in bookings were taken at London Palladium box office. This equates to over 25,000 seats booked for the highly awaited production.
With the announcement that Whoopi Goldberg will co-produce the musical this must have only helped the sales increase.
Whoopi Goldberg is a well known global performer. She shot to fame with her Oscar-nominated performance in Steven Spielberg’s, ‘The colour purple’ which then lead her to phenomenal Hollywood career with films such as Jumpin’ Jack Flash, The Lion King and many more.
The music produced by Alan Menken, eight-time Oscar winner along with Glenn Slater who are long time collaborators.
If the success of many other musicals from screen to stage is to go by then ‘Sister Act’ looks as if it will be extremely popular and in demand for the next coming years.
I know that I definitely want to see it!
Much love
P.s- Whoopi G = Legend
