Jerry Zaks will direct what will be an almost replica of the London Palladium production.
Patina Miller will recreate her role that she has performed in London for the last 18 months and Whoppi Goldberg is expected to either open the show as the Mother Superior or join it after 3 months.
Goldberg has already completed 3 weeks in role at the London Palladium and is due to return to the role for a 5 performance run at the end of October.
Ticket sales went through the roof when it was announced she would appear live on stage. She, and the show, then got the reviews the producers had hoped for at its initial opening. Original reviews were luke warm at best.
Full casting and booking details expected in 4 weeks.
