The Whoopi Monologues

Whoopi Goldberg's groundbreaking one-woman play returns to New York in a fresh Off-Broadway revival. Originally premiering on Broadway in 1984, the show features a series of comic monologues that bring to life a cast of eccentric characters—from a young girl to an elderly man to a valley girl—all penned by Goldberg herself.

This 2026 production at Lincoln Center Theatre's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theatre is directed by Whitney White and stars an ensemble cast including Kerry Washington, Kara Young, Danielle Pinnock, Dominique Fishback, and Kecia Lewis. Audiences can expect a blend of sharp humor and heartfelt storytelling that made the original a landmark in solo performance.

With its rich history—including a Grammy-winning comedy album and Tony-nominated revival—this new staging offers a chance to experience Goldberg's beloved characters brought to life by a talented new cast in an intimate Off-Broadway setting.
