Tonight I saw the "Sister Act" west end stage musical produced by Whoopi Goldberg. IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!

After the show I got some of the casts autographs, it was a huge cast as it included bug choruses for big numbers.

I got Ian Lavender from "Dad's Army" and "Eastenders", Shiella Hancock, one person unknown but he was great and the star of the show, Patina Miller who steps into Whoopi Goldberg's shoes. Unfortunately the role of producer is long over so Whoop Goldberg wasnt there. I would have loved to meet her.

I also had photos taken with Ian and Patina.

A great night! I recomend you see it but just so you know it is not a stage version of the film but a different storyline, the same premise but different, its just as good if not better than the film.

Well done Benedict! The Palladium is my favourite theatre in London.
I was thinking about writing to Ian Lavender there but as of yet haven't got round to it.

Phoebe

Great success! Well done! And lovely pictures too!!

Like Phoebe, the Palladium is also my favourite theater!!! I clicked on your photo of the Palladium and thought it looked different!

Guess because I'm used to seeing sound of music signs on there(been in that Theatre twice alread to watch TSOM)...haha!


Jen

thanks a lot!

I havent been graphing at the Paladium before but it is such a great theatre. I saw "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" there a few years back.

Yes, the front looks a bit different with all the posters and new fitup. Press night is next week and everyone who has seen it is talking about it, sure its going to be a hit!

Ian Lavender is a great actor and was such a pleasure to meet, you wont be dissapointed if you try.

thanks all!

Woopi hasn't / wont be around for producing it, she did her bit for it over a month ago when she was in town.

Nice sucesses

Awesome Successes!
I am so incredibly excited about Sister Act, seeing it in July :]
Surely its likely Whoopi will come back over for Press Night?

I had thought you caught Simon MacCorkindale earlier in the year at the Palladium? Or was that someone else?

Very good luck to you if you are going to the press night, hope you can get some good autographs!

Phoebe

Pretty sure he did meet Simon..^^

Your welcome! Yeah, everyone says its pretty good, so perhaps it will be a hit like you said.


Jen

Yeah unfortunately the producer doesn't do much after the official opening. She "workshopped" a lot of it here with the Pre-West End U.S. National Tour about a year ago.

She won't be back (unless for an impromptu visit) until the closing, which hopefully won't be for a while . I'd like to see this one transfer!

Great success with Patina too. She's awesome!

Youre right, I forgot i got simon there
