The Whoopi Monologues

Whoopi Goldberg's celebrated one-woman play returns to New York in a new Off-Broadway revival. The show features a series of comic monologues penned by Goldberg, bringing to life a cast of eccentric characters from a young girl to an elderly man.

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, and Danielle Pinnock. Audiences can expect a fresh take on the beloved material that originally earned Goldberg a Drama Desk Award and a Grammy.

The play's history on Broadway—from its 1984 premiere to its 2004 revival—cements its place as a landmark of solo performance. This Off-Broadway staging offers a chance to see the work reimagined by a new generation of performers.
