Psh, Sister Act II!

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

i liked Sister Act alot as well....why not a stage version of this one? Maybe Lillias as Delores and Stritchie as Mother Superior? Can you imagine the catfights between those two?

Janet Suzman (whom I adore) is the Mother Superior in NUNS ON THE RUN. Her face and voice send me!

I remember reading that Bette Midler had been offer the title role in Sister Act but turned it down.

Now THAT would have been amazing in a whole different way...

well, Kathy could play Kathy...and I'd Love Bea Arthur in the Wickes role, though she'd never do it...maybe kerry butler as the mousy nun--or erin dilly? i think she's such a doll...

I played a nun once in a production of Sound of Music. But I am Jewish and I refused to cross myself or even wear a cross

well, i have a real problem with people who accept roles and then refuse to perform the role properly....whether it's for religious reasons or personal politics. you should never have accepted the role if you had no intention of wearing a cross or genuflecting. you knew that was part of it and if you had any respect for the show at all, you would have refused the role or do it right.

you can't audition for "Hair", accept a role and then refuse to get naked...you'd be firec. i assume this was for a school or community theatre show, right?

I believe Sister Act was actually written FOR Ms. Midler, but then she couldn't do it. When Whoopi was hired as a replacement, the whole project got reworked to fit her.
