That's meant to be in Eddie's flat, unless they put the song somewhere else. I know that haha, but it doesn't have to be in Eddie's flat.  Nothing to say Eddie's flat doesn't have a piano. |

The 'problem' with Sister Act is that some of the songs are there to further the story, the rest are them performing to an audience. The songs to the audience will work fine with the actors playing instruments. I can't see how some of the rest will. Sister Act (not the Reprise) could. As could the Fabulous Baby Reprise as that's a nightmare so anything goes. I hope that it works. I love the show and think Alexandra is super talented so I don't want to be disappointed. Fabulous Baby Reprise is one of my favourites! I feel like it could be partially Bolton Octagon style. Actors not in the scene play instruments. |

At work, overheard on Heat Radio after Leona Lewis' song Collide was on that they can't wait for her to finish in Cats on Broadway and come over to tour in Sister Act! Have I missed something? Is she going to take over from Alexandra?!

They must have been kidding. It's preposterous.

They must have been kidding. It's preposterous. Her words were "that was Leona Lewis. I am so excited to see her tour with Sister Act once she is fine on Broadway in Cats"... I am guessing a mistake on their part, she sounded like she was genuinely excited haha. |

Strange to see the tour add a week at the Brighton Centre in January its a huge venue and far from ideal for theatre Me too, I was very surprised at this. The capacity is 4,500 people - will they sell that out for 4 days?! Seems strange not just to go to Theatre Royal Brighton |

It must be selling well. A second week has been added for Belfast, at the end of the tour, though it hasn't gone on sale yet.

I think the capacity will be nearer 2700 with the 2 side balconies closed off but even so shifting that many tickets is a big ask |

I don't know if it has been mentioned on here, but a recent interview on Lorraine, Alexandra says she has a break from her career in December after The Bodyguard and Sister Act being so close together. So we can assume a new leading lady by the end of November/beginning or mid December time. |

Joanna Francis is going to be Deloris for the 2 weeks at the start of December, then the tour goes on a break for a couple of weeks until January, then Alexandra will be resuming the tour. |

Did anyone catch this last night?
The reaction on Twitter is universally glowing but it's hard to judge from that.
Only one person mentioned the actor/musician element, in a good way!
