Hallelujah! Whoopi Goldberg and Patina Miller Get in the Spirit for Sister Act on Broadway

Whoopi Goldberg and Patina Miller, producer and star of the upcoming Broadway musical Sister Act (respectively), made an appearance November 2 at St. Malachy’s Church in the Theater District to promote their family friendly show. Goldberg is not only a producer; she spent some time playing Mother Superior in the recently shuttered London production of Sister Act and starred in the hit 1992 film that inspired the musical. Miller starred in the show in London and will reprise her Olivier Award-nominated performance as Deloris Van Cartier on Broadway. When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won't be found: a convent. The Jerry Zaks-helmed musical will begin previews at the Broadway Theatre on March 24, 2011, ahead of an April 20 opening. Hallelujah! We can't wait!
