Description
Get out your hymn books and habits — for this week's musical service, we're dishing on the joyful noise of Broadway's "Sister Act." The Broadway Babies have lots to say about this screen-to-stage adaptation (our second Whoopi movie!), including its original 1992 film, pond-hopping production history, and star-making turn for Patina Miller, who doesn't quite get enough to do in this show. Featuring a scene-stealing Victoria Clark as the holier-than-thou Mother Superior, "Sister Act" is a rollicking time at the theatre that'll take you straight to church! Cast recording (West End): Spotify | iTunes Music: "Take Me to Heaven," performed by Patina Miller, Debbie Kurup and Amy Booth Steel "Fabulous, Baby," by Patina Miller, Debbie Kurup and Amy Booth Steel "Raise Your Voice," by Patina Miller and company "Bless Our Show," by Patina Miller and company "Sister Act," by Patina Miller Music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater Distributed by Ghostlight Records. Show Notes: This is more an added CXG show note, but this is the season 1 sheet music from the CW website for anyone interested. Patina Miller SANGS about being...a "Random Black Girl." Here, she meets Whoopi for the first time. We didn't talk much about the sequel movie, "Back in the Habit" (...sigh), but Lauryn Hill, ladies and gents.
