The Whoopi Monologues

As previously announced, Lincoln Center Theater is proud to present a reimagining of Whoopi Goldberg’s iconic show. Written by Whoopi Goldberg and directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Whitney White, THE WHOOPI MONOLOGUES stars Emmy Award^® Nominee Dominique Fishback, Emmy and Tony Award winner Kecia Lewis, NAACP Image Award Winner Danielle Pinnock, Emmy Award-winning producer and Golden Globe-nominated actress Kerry Washington, and two-time Tony Award winner Kara Young, with Kai Heath, Denise Manning, and Pavar Snipe rounding out the cast as understudies.

In 1984, then unknown monologist Whoopi Goldberg premiered her provocative, thought-provoking one-woman show on Broadway, torching the rulebook of traditional solo performance in one of the most electrifying debuts of the era. Now, the trailblazing work returns, reimagined for a new generation led by a remarkable ensemble of 5 women bringing Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage. Funny, vivid, and deeply human, these nuanced portraits feel as fresh and irresistible today as they were over 40 years ago.
