Goldberg says of the news “I’m coming back to London! Yes, I’m starring as Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act the Musical.”
“The original Deloris is back! A little older, a little seasoned, but really still kind of out there.”
Meanwhile, Saunders joked: “I would buy tickets, but I can’t buy tickets because I’m in it. But I think this could be the event of the century. That’s all I’m saying, small thing, but THE event.”
