Sister Act Broadway Opening next March

Sister Act the Musical is due to close at the London Palladium in London’s West End at the end of October, with a Broadway opening scheduled for March/April 2011.

The theatre is still to be announced and casting is due to commence shortly. Whoopi Goldberg and Stage Entertainment UK will again produce the show. Goldberg is about to finish a limited 23-performance run as Mother Superior in the London production.

 Sister Act features a score by Academy Award winner Alan Menken and Glenn Slater and the Broadway production will reunite the original London creative team, including scenic designer Klara Zieglerova, costume designer Lez Brotherston, lighting designer Natasha Katz and sound designer Mick Potter.

International productions in Germany, Australia, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Italy, France and Spain also planned.
