Sister Act tour?

[staunchcharacter]

That doesn't sound too drastic at all. I'm amazed at how well shows tour nowadays.

^Excellent choice.

[jamiekennywicked]

I've heard Elizabeth Hake is Mary Robert although with some research I see she's non equity.

[JeanGudio]

I just don't think she will fit.

[jamiekennywicked]

Looks like with some further research, I found out she'll be going on tour with The Addams Family (non eq)

[ucjrdude902]

I thought Raven was doing the tour and Ta'rae was the understudy?

[AC126748]

Ta'Rea is playing Deloris. Raven is not doing the tour.

I'm surprised their hasn't been an official press release. I suppose they're waiting to announce the full cast all at once, maybe?

[jamiekennywicked]

Alysha Deslorieux who will be in the national tour is stepping into the Bway cast replacing Kimberly Marable until the show closes.

Has anybody heard anyone else in the cast? Eager to hear something about Mother Superior..

[jamiekennywicked]

Does anyone know who else is in the cast?

[The Distinctive Baritone]

Jason Simon (Max from the non-Eq Producers tour), who has since turned Equity, is in it.

[shrekster224]

^ He looks like a Joey. Also anxious to know the cast! This one, Priscilla, and the Anything Goes tour are gonna be interesting!

[jamiekennywicked]

I'm guessing a press release should be released soon. I believe rehearsals start in August sometime.

I know it was pretty much confirmed, but Ta'Rea was announced at The Broadway in Chicago concert as Deloris.

I think she has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see what she does with the role after she's had time to rehearse.

Here's a video of her singing...
"Fabulous Baby"

Also, Trisha Jeffrey is Tina and the other Deloris understudy.

I guess they're using the London tracks where Tina and Michelle are both black and Deloris understudies as opposed to the Broadway tracks where only Michelle covers Deloris.

[jamiekennywicked]

Ta'Rea sounds great in that video!
Apparently Louise Pitre is the Mother Superior. Not sure how much truth there is too it, however. Does anyone know who else is in the cast?

[jamiekennywicked]

Blair Goldberg is in the ensemble and covers Mary Patrick, Tina and Michelle, Ashley Moniz is in the ensemble and covers Mary Robert and Charles Barksdale is T.J. Rehearsals start tomorrow according to some of the tour cast. Anyone know other names?

[bwaylvsong]

Karen Elliot is in the ensemble and covers Mother Superior.

[ACL2006]

maybe they'll wait to announce the cast after the Broadway production closes on Sunday.

[beautywickedlover]

^ That is what I was thinking. I remember just one or two days after the London production closed, it was announced that Patina Miller would be reprising the role on Broadway.

[jamiekennywicked]

Kelly E. Waters is Mary Patrick

[ClumsyDude15]

I totally would have thought Blair Goldberg would cover Mary Robert, but I'm excited to see her do more after her little hamming it up she did in Carrie.

[jamiekennywicked]

Correction: Blair covers Mary Robert, not Mary Patrick. Tricia Tanguy is a cover for Mary Patrick

[ClumsyDude15]

Ah, okay - that makes more sense.

[shrekster224]

All of that info seems to be compiled here. http://sisteractfans.weebly.com/us-tour-cast.html

Do you think they'll announce it tomorrow?
