Posted: 11/1/11 at 8:02pmUnless you have more to go on it's a bit irresponsible to spread a rumor like this don't you think? I could say that Santa Claus will be the next President but that doesn't make the statement factual.

Posted: 11/1/11 at 8:29pmIf this is true, it seems like a terrible idea. I don't see that show filling a reasonably-sized theatre, so I certainly don't see it filling the Broadway.

Posted: 11/1/11 at 8:37pmI would think Whoopi would go into the show before it closes.

really don't want to see Sister Act close. It's such a fun, great show. It clearly has some flaws, but it's better than Mamma Mia, Rock of Ages & Spiderman.
and I'll second that Whoopi would go into the show for 6-8 weeks before closing it just to make some $$$.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 11/1/11 at 9:43pmI could see her doing it as she could still tape the View during the day. Plus it would get the show some much needed attention.

that's what she did when she joined Xanadu for 6 weeks. She didn't perform the Wed. matinees(Annie Golden filled in) though, which I would think would be the same if she did Sister Act.
and if Nice Work... goes into the Broadway, it'll close right after the Tonys. Way too big of a theater.

Posted: 11/1/11 at 11:57pmShe is always complaining about doing 8 shows a week and why would anyone sign up for that, etc. So maybe she's over it.

Posted: 11/4/11 at 6:47amNow that Funny Girl is not opening, maybe they could get the Imperial instead?
