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 blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling that has defined the show since its Broadway debut.

Originally premiering in 1984, the play earned Goldberg a Drama Desk Award and a Grammy for its comedy album. This revival offers a fresh take on a classic, continuing the tradition of sharp, character-driven comedy.
