New Whoopi Goldberg October Dates RevealedWhoopi Goldberg will perform five shows in October – one on the evening of Friday 22 October, two shows on Saturday 23 October and two more on Monday 25 October. Whoopi’s previous run, her West End debut, was a huge critical success, with fans queuing around the block for Sister Act tickets and weekly box office records tumbling at the London Palladium.Whoopi’s new five show run will see her alternate the role with current Mother Superior Sally Dexter. Dexter will continue in the role until the production closes at the London Palladium on Saturday 30 October, with the show making way for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Wizard of Oz. |
Mother Superiors Praised By CEOBill Taylor, Stage Entertainment UK CEO, said: “Everyone at Sister Act was devastated for Whoopi when she needed to leave us to return home to be with her family, and our thoughts are continually with them over this difficult period. I think everyone knows what a special person she is, but that she is committed to returning and completing her run at the Palladium leaves me speechless in admiration. I’d also like to thank the wonderful and gracious Sally Dexter for her understanding and utter professionalism. It’s an honour to have both of these women as part of our company”.The Sister Act cast continues to include the award winning, critically acclaimed Patina Miller as Deloris Van Cartier, Chris Jarman as Curtis Shank and Dad’s Army star Ian Lavender as Monsignor.
