Will Whoopi Goldberg star in Sister Act The Musical?

Hallelujah, yes! Goldberg will reprise her role as Deloris at the show’s run at the Eventim Apollo from 29 July – 30 August 2020. Speaking about the role, she said: “Yes, the original Deloris is back. A little older, a little seasoned, but really still kind of out there.”

Goldberg jokingly added: “I want you to book your tickets now so that you don’t miss out and we all get to hang out together and we do Sister Act one more time.”

And it gets even better: Jennifer Saunders will be acting alongside Goldberg in the role of Mother Superior (originally played by Dame Maggie Smith in the film). She said: “I think this could be the event of the century, that’s all I’m saying.”

West End actor Brenda Edwards will be step into the role of Deloris for Thursday matinee performances.
