Sister Act fans, brace yourself, Whoopie Goldberg is back as Deloris Van Cartier.

The actress will take her iconic role to the stage in a musical based on the film in London next summer.

She is not the only legend to take part, as Mother Superior will be embodied by award-winning British actress Jennifer Saunders.

Fans will only have a short window to attend the show, as there will only be a short run of 39 performances from 29 July to 30 August at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith.

You can already buy tickets at  lovetheatre.com , prices start at £45.

The new theatre production is based on the iconic 1992 feel-good movie and follows the story of disco singer Deloris, who ends up locked in a convent under police surveillance.

The London stint coincides with a UK tour of the show, which will include performances in major cities like Newcastle, Manchester and Birmingham.

Tickets to the shows are available now from  lovetheatre.com, atgtickets.com  and  ticketmaster.co.uk.

Brenda Edwards will take the lead role as Deloris for the duration of the tour which begins on 21 April in Leicester and finishes up on 26 September in Birmingham.
