I wouldn't recommend it, particularly for higher humidity areas. Same idea as not roofing over an existing roof. You can, but you'll have moisture issues.

Other problem with going over the top of existing plaster is all your mouldings will have to be removed and/or replaced.
Just not worth it unless you're looking for a quickie cosmetic solution but it will cause problems down the road.
