Sister Act confirmed as running at the Dominion at the same time as the tour, with Beverley Knight and Alexandra Burke sharing the lead role in London. 15 March to 31 August 2024.
Tickets already on sale. It's a popular show but that's a long run at a huge venue.

Teaser post suggests that London casting announcement may be tomorrow. Has anyone heard anything? A Welsh logo was also posted earlier so a Welsh Mother Superior maybe?

Looking at the show’s website it says it’s in Cardiff next week, so could just be that.

If the rumour I heard is correct all guesses so far for the Mother Superior so far are wrong. They couldn't get who they wanted originally, but THAT would have caused a storm at the box office...

Only doing the dates that Beverly Knight is doing 15 March - 8 June.
Going off the Sister Act website, still have more star casting to be announced. So likely to have another star as Mother Superior for the dates that Alexandra Burke is doing. |

Not a massive fan, but an interesting choice I guess.

I believe the original choice was a huge American sitcom star but it didn't work out.

You could see Megan Mullaly fitting the Saunders mould of this quite well...

Does anyone know if Lizzie bea who is playing sister robert on the UK tour will move to the London cast?
I am asking as she seems to be only on the tour till Dec when it takes its Christmas break on the Theatres websites its going after Christmas she is not on their websites.
it would be great if she is joining the London cast as she plays the part very very well.

Have to say, I didn’t love her singing choices but her acting was great. Julie Atherton was the best Mary Robert I ever saw.
