Synopsis

Elaine Paige plays the very best from Broadway, Hollywood and London's West End.

This week, the programme features an interview with Whoopi Goldberg who is the titular producer of the West End production of Sister Act.

Whoopi chats about her own career on Broadway, including A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, and Thoroughly Modern Millie (which she produced).

Elaine also has some more Break-a-Leg messages and the competition. Plus, Malcolm's Big One comes from Stephen Sondheim's Sunday In The Park With George.
