Hasn't she been wanting to do Broadway? Why can't she just play the role on Broadway? Why a whole movie?

Can she handle eight shows a week? I know she is on tour and everything, but still.

This is the first I'm hearing about her playing Eartha Kitt.

Is it just me or is the big news here that the show is opening next season? I thought Whoopi had said multiple times it would be part of the 2009-2010 season?

What she wants and what she gets are two different things. I do not care for Beyonce at all as a performer.

Does she realize that Sister Act was already a movie musical?

Actually it isn't...it's a movie with a couple of musical numbers in it...none that actually further the story or comment on the action.

Who keeps hiring her in movies? She is HORRENDOUS in the acting department.

Really? I thought she totally held her own in DREAMGIRLS and was actually quite excellent in CADILLAC RECORDS.
I think when given strong enough material or a strong enough role, she delivers. She's not gonna win an Oscar any time soon but I don't think she's horrendous by any means.

I find her acting Horrendess, and as much as she says she loves Menken's score, I am sure she wants to write a song or two for her character.
This is way so early to even discuss this.
What if it isn't a hit on Broadway (I hope it is)?
She will change her tune faster than she changes her Mother's costumes in her videos.

I like Beyonce, but someone else would be better playing Delores if the musical gets a screen adaptation.

I remember someone on these boards, with reliant insider info, mentioned that SISTER ACT would be coming in the 2010-2011 season as well.

Patina Miller, the terrific young American woman who became an overnight star in London in the lead would be majorly pissed if she couldn't do the Broadway role (which would also be a horrible tragedy for Broadway audiences as Beyonce would suck the curtains). I'll be interested in seeing what the producer (Whoopie Goldberg) does about the situation.

Oh, this sounds like the AIDA rumour all over again.

Why are people not reading this correctly? She wants to do a MOVIE of the musical. NOT the musical on Broadway.
"I am sure she wants to write a song or two for her character. "
I actually totally agree with that. I am sure she would try to do that.

Have you people not seen "Obsessed"? That woman is a tour-de-force, and it's a disgrace that she hasn't won multiple Oscars, Tony's, Emmy's, and anything else you can think of!!
Please note the tone.
If/when it comes to Broadway, as long as the casting is right, I'll be seeing it; however, I don't think it needs to be made into another film.

Beyonce is talking about the movie, not the stage show. As for SISTER ACT's prospects on Broadway- they are excellent. While the show probably could use some show doctoring (and new choreography) before making it critic-friendly on Broadway, the score is wonderful and Patina Miller is a star.

Can we just say that Beyonce wants to be in every movie musical for the rest of time?
Because that is what she sounds like.
