Sister Act On Broadway! — Page 4

TheatreFan4, while I think Shindle is completely wrong for the role, there's nothing in the script that says Mary Robert has to be "little." Marla Mindelle is 5'8, so she's certainly far from short.

As I said earlier, as much as I enjoy her, I really don't find Jackie Hoffman to be such a perfect fit for Mary Lazarus. If the London incarnation was any indication in terms of redefining the character types, I expect they're going to go for someone genuinely older, in the Rita Gardner mold. Phyllis Sommerville would just be perfection, but Audrie Neenan, who originated the role in Pasadena/ Atlanta, was pretty genius. She has a downright eery resemblance to Mary Wickes from the film, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she was back in the mix for the Broadway production.

I'll let you (TheatreFan4) know the character requirements when i get my script. Not everything has to be according to the films things can be changed. Heck they changed the setting and the music styles totally from the movie, why not change the height of a character?

Tickets now on sale for Broadway. Slightly suprised we havent heard any word on the Mother Superior casting.

---

I loved her as Tracy. Does anyone know who she is playing? I thought of Mary Patrick but I already thought Sarah Bolt was confirmed.

---

Perhaps LaRosa and cover Mary P?

---

Anyone know when we should expect offical cast announcements? I heard a rumour Nancy Opel had a role, althought I'm not sure how much truth there is to it.

---

I also heard Tituss Burgess has a role.

---

Looks like Nancy Opel won't be in this....

I'm dying for the cast announcement!!

"Ahh, was hoping for someone more exciting for Mary Roberts."

I was hoping the actress who would play Sister Mary Robert on Broadway would be someone I was familiar with. I was excited when I found out Katie Rowley Jones would be doing it London. When I listened to Anneliese van der Pol's "A Change in Me" I thought oh I can see her nailing the notes in "Raise Your Voice."

From Patina Miller's twitter:

Philly with the Sister Act NY nuns doing a press event!

Does this mean the cast should be announced soon?

I wonder if Whoopi will do something on The View to announce the cast. I'm surprised she hasn't starting promoting the show on The View with it a little over 2 months before previews start.
