The show, directed by Whitney White, features a collection of monologues written by the EGOT-winning Whoopi Goldberg.

Joining Washington and Young are Dominique Fishback, Tony winner Kecia Lewis and Danielle Pinnock. Kai Heath, Denise Manning and Pavar Snipe serve as understudies.

In 1984, then unknown 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 trailblazing work returns, reimagined for a new generation led by a remarkable ensemble of five women bringing Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage.
