I have tickets for this booked it because of whoopi Ngl was disappointed when she dropped out. But looking forward to seeing who’s replacing her just wish they’d announce soon. I’d love for Raven to do it over here :-)

Jennifer Saunders isn’t in it either now? No mention of her on the booking page.
Seriously, if I’d paid those prices to see two household names Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer Saunders and was now getting neither I would be asking for my money back. It is a rip off and a disgrace.

Jennifer was still attached as of Christmas, unless anything has changed since this announcement

@burlybear every single booker who booked tickets prior to Goldberg departing the production was offered a refund when thry announced it happening this year without Whoopi so I'm afraid your 'its a disgrace' rhetoric is complete nonsense here.

Well, I didn’t know that (or if I did I’d forgotten) so thank you for putting me right!

I’d love for Raven to do it over here :-) Definitely agree with this. I saw her do it on broadway and was so pleasantly surprised at how great she was in the role. Added bonus of seeing Carolee Carmello as Mother Superior as well

Well, I didn’t know that (or if I did I’d forgotten) so thank you for putting me right! They did keep quite a large booking fee per ticket though when issuing refunds (part of the terms and conditions)

I've got my fingers crossed that Beverley Knight can somehow get out of Drifters Girl because she would be perfect as Deloris.

I've got my fingers crossed that Beverley Knight can somehow get out of Drifters Girl because she would be perfect as Deloris. Drifter’s Girl current booking period ends on 2nd July (two weeks before Sister Act London run begins). On a selfish note, I hope she doesn’t do it as I gave up my tickets when Whoopi dropped out but Beverley is my Queen.

Beverly Knight's confirmed to leave Drifters Girl on 2nd July...while she'd miss the Manchester dates her schedule looks free for the London run...

It would be great but unlikely if she can’t do the Manchester run I’d have thought, they’d have to rehearse two Delorises (Delori?) at once.

Well the original plan was to have one Tour Deloris (I believe it was Brenda Edwards) and one London Deloris (Whoopi of course), with the tour Deloris acting as standby in London. Depending on Beverley's availability/preferences, they may well do the same this time round and have Beverley in London but another actress for the tour dates.
