The Whoopi Monologues Tickets

Get The Whoopi Monologues tickets when they go on sale on New York Theatre Guide to see Emmy Award winner Kerry Washington and Tony Award winner Kara Young revive some of Whoopi Goldberg's best comedy sets. A singular show that is great for fans of Goldberg's old and new, The Whoopi Monologues plays through Lincoln Center Theater summer 2026.

Experience The Whoopi Monologues off Broadway. In 1984, up-and-coming monologist 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 landmark work returns — but for a new generation.

Washington (American Son, Scandal), and Young (Purpose, Purlie Victorious) lead a remarkable ensemble of five women in bringing Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage, in this new production directed by Tony Award nominee Whitney White (The Last Five Years, Jaja's African Hair Braiding). Funny, vivid, and deeply human, these nuanced portraits feel as fresh and irresistible today as they were over 40 years ago.

“I am honored to welcome these beautiful artists to Lincoln Center Theater, and to roll out the red carpet for audiences next year in my first season as Artistic Director,” said Lear deBessonet in a statement. “The richness and range of work speaks to theater as a place for wonder, truth, and heart — a place where democracy thrives, and we can experience a restored sense of human connection. I’m excited for all that is to come, and grateful to steward this magnificent theater into its next glorious chapter.”

Goldberg holds a rare achievement: she is the winner of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards, crowning her with EGOT status and making her an entertainment legend. Whether on film, leading a talk show, or now sharing her words on a New York stage, she is always a marvel to behold.
