Kim So-hyang cast in US production of ‘Sister Act’
By Yoon Min-sikPublished : April 12, 2017 - 16:54
According to EA&C, Kim will play a supporting role in the Asian tour of the musical that will kick off in May. It highlighted that this marks the first time a Korean actress has been cast in the American production of the musical.
Kim, 36, said she has been looking to participate in an American production and that “Sister Act” is a huge opportunity for her.
“I wanted to try a role that is not confined to the limits of any specific race,” she said.
She will play the part of Sister Mary Robert, a quiet and timid nun who becomes inspired by the main character Delores and eventually breaks out of her shell.
The show is a musical adaptation of the hit 1992 comedy film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg. The plot revolves around a singer Delores who unintentionally witnesses a murder and takes refuge in a convent.
The interaction between the somewhat-vulgar Delores and nuns makes up most of the show’s -- and the film’s -- famed comedy.
The Asian tour of the show will start in Singapore, where it will be staged from May 9-28.
