'Sister Act' to go to Broadway theatrical heaven
CBS NEWS
NEW YORK — God is having a tough month on Broadway — "Godspell" is closing, "Jesus Christ Superstar" is on life support and now comes word that "Sister Act" is going to theatrical heaven. Producers said Wednesday that the musical based on the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg will play its final performance on Aug. 26, a 16-month run that included more than 561 performances. After a flurry of religious-themed shows appeared on Broadway, crowds are apparently turning their backs, unconverted. "Leap of Faith," another Menken show about a crooked preacher, closed last month after just 20 regular performances. [link]
