I'm aware. It seems odd that the producers would have her begin rehearsals, take off 2 weeks to do Lost in the Stars, and then come back. But I also don't see how they need to begin rehearsals 9+ weeks before their first preview.
Having read the breakdown for Sister Mary Lazarus, I'm just going to say that Lenora Nemetz would be perfect in the role.
And even if Sister Act rehearsals were during Lost in the Stars rehearsals, couldn't they use that time to rehearse the ensemble?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I just saw an ad for Sister Act during the Today show. It showed footage of Whoopie in a habit--singing and dancing--which might lead people to believe that she's starring in this production.(?)
I heard that when Angela Lansbury was being pursued for the role that Whoopie offered to do matinees for her. Maybe she & Victoria will split the role.
My first thought is that Egan could play the Monsignor but it's a non-singing role and his great voice would be wasted. Maybe his role is Bones, leader of the bad guy's comedy henchmen. Nic Colicos who played it in the West End is not dissimilar in type.
