Whoopi Goldberg sings with the cast of "Sister Act 2" for the 30th anniversary of the cult film

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the cult film "Sister Act 2," actress and host Whoopi Goldberg reunited a large part of the cast on American television. Together, they performed "Oh Happy Day" to the delight of fans.

This film tells the story of a young singer who, after witnessing a murder, joins a convent to protect herself. With her strong personality and unconventional ways, she breathes new life into the religious establishment, forming friendships with the nuns and helping them rearrange their somewhat austere songs.

Released in 1992, the comedy "Sister Act," led by Whoopi Goldberg, has become an integral part of pop culture and was even adapted into a musical in 2006. Since then, it has been a triumph on Broadway! The sequel, quickly put into production, revealed to the world the talent of a certain Lauryn Hill, just before she rose to fame with the group The Fugees. For Whoopi Goldberg, who hosts the show "The View" every day on American television, the opportunity was too good to pass up: for the 30th anniversary of the film, she orchestrated a family reunion!

Surrounded by Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Marc Shaiman, and Mervyn Warren, the 68-year-old icon delighted viewers by performing the iconic "Oh Happy Day" with the original cast, a song inseparable from "Sister Act." To perfect the moment, Whoopi Goldberg even donned her nun's habit again and began the performance by leading the choir through their scales: "Lalalalalalalalala...." It was a pure nostalgic moment that ended with a grand gospel mass with the entire audience standing. Only Lauryn Hill was missing... Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was 13 when she starred in "Sister Act 2," made a video appearance. "Working on this film is one of the best things that ever happened to me," she said emotionally.

And there's good news: chartsinfrance.net reports that a "Sister Act 3" might be released in the coming years. For months, Whoopi Goldberg has been telling anyone who will listen that she is ready to return to the convent to continue the story of Sister Mary Clarence. Things are progressing well as the script is already being written. "We are working diligently to try to figure out how to bring the gang back together. We have a good script. We are just trying to move everyone in the right direction," said American director and producer Tyler Perry in October 2022. Whoopi Goldberg even has an idea of the cast she wants to see on screen: her dream is to bring together Keke Palmer ("Nope"), Lizzo, and perhaps even Nicki Minaj!
