Found some great sister act promo pics on the sister act site

Any word on what the advance is looking like/

I have seen this show 5 times in Los Angeles. Would've gone a few more times if I could've afforded it. It is brilliant. I described my feeling after the show to friends as "it felt like I just had an IV full of pure joy." Seriously.

I am saddened though that none of the original cast, except Patina, made it to the West End. Beth Malone who played Sister Mary Roberts is incredible and from the music video can sing circles around the new girl.

Now O'Grady is the hly grail, it has just hit me, if Brian Conley didn't do Edna, Paul would be the perfect canidate.

So excited!

After my next paycheck comes through, this and La Cage (with Quast and Allam) will be two show's I'll defs be booking for. The promos on the website are both great songs (especially Take Me To Heaven). Sadly there isn't much buzz for the show

Or just a better logo that is more definitive and memorable. Their teaser poster is too busy. Why oh why aren't Dewynters doing their campaign?

Also, in answer to your questions about the set ... since Klara Zieglerova is the designer, I imagine it will be very structural, maybe scaffolding, with projections and a few automated tracks for basic scenery. Nothing too extravagant or exciting.

I'd like a campy very glittery stained glass window.

The set uses a revolve, as can be seen on the floor in the pic below.

I was thinking something like ginat vegas casionas, thetres etc and in the middle a tiny little church

I'm just excited about a new Menken score, which would be enough for me to want to check it out. I've seen good shows with cheap marquees before, so that's nothing new. And this one is far from the worst I've seen. I'd change the font, for one thing. And a simpler graphic design would have been more clever. The graphics are cute, but it's too busy. Using the same artist, I would have simply had a row of nuns across the page, holding rosaries, but the one obvious leading character holding a microphone instead. Neat, simple, clever and eye-catching.

I am curious as to how strong the adaptation will be. There are a few musicals that I felt were improvements on the film versions. Thoroughly Modern Millie and Legally Blonde spring to mind. It's not that I didn't like the films (Millie featured a stellar cast with a rather tepid screenplay), but that I found their stage counterparts to be more entertaining.
