BWW TV Stage Tube presents SISTER ACT The Musical's first ever webisode.

At New World Stages in New York, Patina Miller, who will take on the role of Deloris Van Cartier, meets Whoopi Goldberg for the first time.

As Producer of the upcoming London stage show and former Deloris in the 1992 film, Whoopi Goldberg gives Patina, the new leading lady, advice as she embarks on her journey to musical stardom.

This will be the first in a series of webisodes in which you can watch an exclusive interview with Whoopi and catch a glimpse of Patina singing new songs composed by Alan Menken. Stay tuned!
