On Tuesday 10th August, I was privileged enough to see Whoopi Goldberg in her opening night as Mother Superior in Sister Act at the London Palladium. I had been thinking about a London theatre trip for a while (I try to do one once a year) but hearing the news that Whoopi would be doing a limited run in this wonderful production was all the motivation I needed to book tickets right then and there. My second time seeing the show, it was just as much fun as I remembered, and I left the theatre with feeling of joyous exuberance not matched since I last saw the show and a renewed sense of despair over the fact that I have no musical talent to speak of (I want to be a singing nun dammit!!).
