| I can't really see Whoopi Goldberg as the ironically-named Lottie Schön. "Dull and drab" are not really her strength, are they? She's usually an agent of chaos. (I'd rather see her Lettice Douffet, to be honest.) There have been so many great actresses who played Lettice after Smith: I remember Julie Harris doing it (on tour?)! |

| At one point, Hallmark (which was trying to do something beyond their standard Hall of Fame stuff) had it optioned and considered Americanizing it. They threw out that idea (luckily) but never did anything with the property. Don't know anything about Maggie/Whoopi, but Whoopi is a good actress and it would be a good change of pace for her. | |

| And of course they appeared together in the two “Sister Act” films. | |

| Yes, it would have been a nice reunion (although I'm not sure how much time was between the first Sister Act and Lettice and Lovage). There's lots of good British actresses to do revivals in London and around the UK. |
