In 1984, up-and-coming monologist Whoopi Goldberg premiered her 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—but for a new generation.

Emmy Award-winning producer, actor and filmmaker Kerry Washington (American Son, Scandal) and Tony Award winner Kara Young (Purpose, Purlie Victorious) lead a remarkable ensemble of 5 women in bringing Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage, in this new production directed by Tony Award nominee Whitney White. Funny, vivid and deeply human, these nuanced portraits feel as fresh and irresistible today as they were over 40 years ago. Presented by Lincoln Center Theater.
