I mean, how impossible is it that Whoopi might star in a short run as Mother Superior again?!

....Olivia Colman as the Mother Superior? That seems a bit of an ambitious guess... Emma Thompson?? Jennifer Saunders?? Im willing to bet Whoopi will do a stint x |

I mean the only two actors who have 3 'best actress' BAFTAS are Judi Dench and Helen Mirren...
I didn't work out for writing - Jennifer Saunders is a shout though.

Both Steve Coogan and Robbie Coltrane have won 3 as well according to Wikipedia. Comedy icon possibly?

They have teased today that it's going into Londons biggest theatre and the cast will include one Holywood Oscar winner and one 3 time Bafta winning comedy icon... I guess it will go into the coliseum after Hairspray? It nahes sense because the same producers had On Your Feet in there ....Olivia Colman as the Mother Superior? Hasn't she said she is terrified of doing live theatre? |

Hmmm, quite enjoyed this at the Palladium but is at the more mediocre end of the Menken musicals (for me).
Has also toured extensively so am unconvinced of the demand for a new West End version (inevitably cheaper than the original).
Do like some of the songs though. Is a shame they cut How I Got The Calling as I love that one.

Though I can't off the top of my head think of an example in the last 30 years where a revival was more elaborate than the original! |

Is it necessarily an actRESS? An older Deloris would imply an older Curtis & Eddie

Whoopi Goldberg AND Jennifer Saunders has made this a total must-see for me! When are tickets on sale?

I saw Whoopi in it last time, she could just about sing Mother Superior, but no way she could sing Delores. Are we sure that she and Ms Saunders aren’t sharing the role? Whoopi seemed to make a big deal of casting Brenda Edwards in the leading role.

As much as I love Whoopi, I’m not sure I’d like to hear her take on the score. So why was Brenda Edwards announced? For the tour only?
