Whoopi Goes Global - Keeps Busy!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Whoopi Goldberg

wenn5137530__opt1.jpg

Whoopi seems to be keeping herself pretty busy these days.

As we mentioned earlier this week, Whoopi signed a new development deal with Discovery Emerging Networks and will be in charge of developing series for the Investigation Discovery and Science Channel.

And now, Miz Goldberg is going back to her beginnings. Somewhat.

Whoopi is set to produce a stage version of Sister Act to play in London.

The musical, based on Whoopi's 1992 hit, will open on June 2nd, 2009 at the London Palladium and will have preview performances starting May 6th.

Unfortunately, Whoopi will not be starring in the musical.

We can't wait to see it though.

Who didn't love Sister Act?!

    Re: jackie kay – So true, well said.

    Honestly, she has experts in make-up working on her each day yet she is still the most unattractive woman on television today. God bless her, I suppose she can just count her money to cheer herself up!



  16. 16

    Thusss I will type lyrics to a song me and some of my gal pals sang in church from Sister Act. ahem: I will follow Him, follow Him whereever He may go. And near Him I always will be, for nothing can keep me away, he is my Destinyyy (in the movie at the word "Destiny" the camera is on a really cute old lady, so that's an inside joke.)

    if you heard her talk about it, you would know that 1st-she feels she is much too old to do sister act and 2nd-this is going to be sister act that grew up-she feels that everyone has seen the original, she is going to make it for the 2000s
