News Alert: Audrie J. Neenan

Sister Act opened last night, on Broadway! With my cousin in it! I'm so cool! No wait -- she's so cool! Can I be cool by association? Anyway, apparently the audience loved it but the critic (Christopher Isherwood, NYTimes) naturally had to be critical.

Who could resist the vision of a stage full of saintly sisters flaring their gams in unison like the Rockettes, or swiveling their hips, Supremes style, to the silken beat of an R and B tune? Presumably nobody in the audience at the Broadway Theater, where this latest stage adaptation of a hit movie opened on Wednesday night. 

He went on to mention Audrie: 
Deloris’s converts to the cause are played with genial comic finesse by Sarah Bolt as the jolly Sister Mary Patrick; Marla Mindelle as the sweetly mousy postulant Mary Robert; and the particularly funny Audrie Neenan as the puckered-up, sarcastic Sister Mary Lazarus.

This is a video of the sisters backstage as civilians, in which Audrie appears:

And this is just for a laugh. I discovered this a while ago on Youtube -- it's a scene from "Sudden Impact" a movie in which Audrie plays a lesbian, rapist gang member (I remember that the movie theater audience applauded when she died and I felt bad -- "She's not really like that!"). In this bar scene, Clint Eastwood kicks her in the ass. It's been dubbed in Spanish.
