Whoopi Goldberg to Reprise 'Sister Act' Role in London Stage Show

Whoopi Goldberg will step back into the shoes of Deloris Van Cartier in the upcoming London production of the Sister Act stage musical!

The Oscar-winning actress and The View co-host played the role in the 1992 movie and the 1993 sequel. The show became a musical a decade ago and Patina Miller originated the role on stage.

Whoopi will play Deloris for one month only in the summer of 2020 opposite Ab Fab‘s Jennifer Saunders as Mother Superior.

“The original Deloris is back! A little older, a little seasoned, but really still kind of out there,” Whoopi said in a statement. Jennifer added, “I would buy tickets, but I can’t buy tickets because I’m in it. But I think this could be the event of the century. That’s all I’m saying, small thing, but THE event.”

Tickets for performances from July 29 through August 30 are on sale now.
