SISTER ACT (Spring '11) to Be Helmed by Jerry Zaks

They should go back to the initial artwork from the Atlanta/ Pasadena productions, pictured below.

As far as Patina Miller is concerned, she's an American who received unanimous rave reviews and has helped develop the material for years since the show's initial inception. There's no question she'll be coming to Broadway as part of the transfer.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

SISTER ACT (Spring '11) to Be Helmed by Jerry Zaks

I loved this show in London! I do agree, the male scenes need some tweaking; also, I was not too keen on the show taking place in the 70's; I think the Disco-style songs would be OK in any era.

Zaks makes some very revealing comments on his plans for SISTER ACT in the new ATW Downstage Center podcast, all of which seem to be right on the money.

Basically, he says he doesn't plan on making any changes to the score. Instead, he's focusing on implementing a pretty significant overhaul of the book, which he (quite openly) says isn't near where it needs to be in the present London incarnation.
