Sister Act 2 reunion & performance
Click to viewOver 30 years later, the cast of Sister Act 2 reunited to talk about their experience making the movie.
the cast sings Joyful, Joyful with students from LaGuardia High School (known as the Fame school to 80s kids)
the classroom kids (part 1) - Tanya Trotter, Ryan Toby, Monica Calhoun, David Kater, Alex Martin (Whoopi's daughter who claims she is not a nepo baby, despite admitting she is terrible at auditions yet got cast in her mom's movie), and Frank Odell Howard - tell some cute stories about their experience working on the movie (including Whoopi holding a graduation ceremony because one of the kids had to miss his high school graduation due to filming)
the classroom kids (part 2) - Dionna Nichelle, Jermaine Montell, Deondray Gossfield, Ashley Thompson, and Deedee Magno Hall (Mickey Mouse in the house!) talk about their experience (the hair people wanted to cut Jermaine's twists because someone said a Catholic school student wouldn't have hair like that so Whoopi basically told them to eat shit and leave his hair alone)
Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Marc Shaiman, and Mervyn Warren share some fun stories (Kathy, Wendy, and Whoopi walked around San Francisco in their nun outfits and went to a porn store, Sheryl Lee Ralph says she knew Lauren Hill would be a star but she was wrong about the Fugees, Marc wanted the kids to sing To Sir With Love to Whoopi on the bus after the competition but a producer vetoed that idea, Kevin reveals that the "la la la la la" parts of Joyful Joyful were not sung by Whoopi)
cast members who were not in attendance (Jenifer Lewis, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Erica Campbell, Alanna Ubach) say hi and share some of their memories
who did not participate: Maggie Smith, Lauryn Hill, Riley Weston (who was known as Kimberlee Kramer at the time)
a few weeks ago, Whoopi admitted that although she loves music, she had no business being in any musicals
