There have been several versions, the last one where the nuns played instruments.

Really depressing to be travelling home in the dark today.

It's not a travesty. It's Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act. Yes, but unfortunately it's Sister Act - The Musical. And there is a big difference between that and the film she originally starred in. It's a version of Sister Act. There have been many versions of it. They've already said it's a reworked version. If it wasn't for Whoopi's iconic portrayal in the film then there would have been no subsequent versions I am sure.

Some standing tickets have been added. I managed to pick up one for Saturday.
Really looking forward to it.

Because the role has been aged up. And the original film role was not as young as the musical Deloris anyway. And Whoopi doesn't really look her age. I don't think it will be a problem. Her age isn’t the problem. The problem is she can’t sing, and never could! Marc Shaiman helped make her sound vaguely passable on the film soundtrack. But no more than that - and it was a studio recording. The Menken show needs a first rate singer to do the score justice. And I can’t see Whoopi doing that in a million years. In all aspects, I’d rather see Brenda on tour. And for a much lower price, too! How many songs are actually in the film? I'm watching it now and apart from the opening number which can be easily replicated, there have been no songs and we are half an hour in. This is a "reworked version", whatever that means. I cannot imagine she's going to singing "fabulous baby".

If they do the opening "Heatwave" number it will be worth the money on its own.

I think it will be great and, yes, there are ridiculous expensive tickets, but if people buying those meant there were also some £29 tickets available (the price range I went for), then I am OK with that.

Will be great to see this guy again, anyway! One of the highlights at 42nd Street.

Within a few hours the three tickets left have sold so people are willing to pay.
I hope they saw the restricted view warning. It was just above the warning that Alfie is not performing on the day so it might turn out to be a double disappointment!

Joe seems to be bringing people in who might not normally go and book a theatre show, but Lucie has lots of fans too.
Plus there are a core of very enthusiastic, perhaps over enthusiastic if some stage door tales are to be believed, young fans who return again and again.
The last minute performance at the Tkts booth got a good, young crowd along to support it, for instance. The show has found its audience.

I'm looking for November and the only ones available are a limited view for £97.
For that price you should be able to see everything.

With this and Six both touring, the regional "stans" are being spoilt. I hope Stage Door staff are prepared!
I'll go along due to curiosity, if only to see what the big fuss is about.

Re standing tickets. How do you get these? Can you buy in advance or just on the day? If on the day online or in person? Also, how much are they? Thanks for any help.

Such a shame all that work went in for just one performance. More please. I couldn't make yesterday and the demand is clearly there.

The album/tour tweets are done by the management team, Michael Ball's are the same.

I can't see how it is a problem, it would be if every one was a cover show but they aren't. Lots have been his planed shows.
