Whoopi Goldberg does sister act in the West End

Sometimes old habits never die, which is great news for Whoopi Goldberg who took the stage on the West End in the play version of Sister Act, 18 years after she originally starred in the Hollywood film version.

However, there were a few slight changes as Goldberg did not play Deloris in the stage version of the film, instead taking on the stage role of Mother Superior.

Instead, the runway Deloris hiding from the mafia is played by Patina Miller.  Goldberg replaced Sheila Hancock who has played Mother Superior since the show opening in 2009.  In addition, she is a co-producer of the musical valued at £7m.  She said that she has to find some grown-up in her to play the part because even today she herself is not much of an adult.

Goldberg added that while Mother Superior has a little bit of foolishness in her, she is not going to steal the stage because she is aware she is not Deloris anymore.
