I can honestly say that every single member of the cast were brilliant! I wish I had bought the programme so I could tell you how fabulous each and every one of them were, but instead I'll just have to give you a brief overview (after all I don't want to spoil it for those of you who havn't seen it!). Simon Webb played the role of "Shank" he was surprisingly great! I didn't know quite what to expect, but he was great, he sang well and provided comedy too. Sister Mary Lazerus was hilarious, as were the rest of the nuns. Deloris Van Cartier, blew me away! She was brilliant! If I didn't already know, I would never have guessed that she was the "stand in", definitely a star in the making!
Naturally, one of the highlights of the show was the amazing Whoopi Goldberg! Me and my sisters were saying how surreal it was to be actually seeing her in the flesh! We loved the Sister Act films and Whoopi starred in so many of my favourite films from my childhood that we were all so excited about the show. Whoopi came on stage first for a small part of narration, and she couldnt speak for a solid 5mins due to the applause and whooping! The atmosphere in the theatre was truly amazing and needless to say the show was finished off with a standing ovation from the whole audience.
The original score was written by Alan Menken, whose credits inclue, Little Shop of Horrors, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Enchanted, all of which are favourites of mine!
The only thing that remains to be said is that you simply MUST see this show! They are booking up until 30th October at the moment due to the big move to Broadway, so go get your tickets now!
