A must see
"The theater itself for seating was horrible. Not enough space for you to comfortably sit or stretch your legs and no intermission that was a downfall. However, Whoopi's monologues was awesome each character brought something special. My favorite was the Jamaican lady, to me she really stole the show. My next favorite was Fontaine. In sum all of the actresses deserve their accolades. Recommend you see it for yourselves. Just be prepared that seating is tight and I’m not a big person. "

Expectations Exceeded
"This was my first NYC play and I was thoroughly pleased! The performance of each actor exceeded my expectations. They did not disappoint. The venue was just the right size as I felt like each performer was talking to me. There was not a 'bad' seat in the entire place. The messages conveyed were thought provoking. It was a wonderful experience. I'm ready to do it again!"

It's hard to pick a favorite character because each one was so relatable!
"The show was beyond GREAT! Each actor's performance placed you right in that character's shoes and made you FEEL exactly what that character was going through. And their interaction with the audience was so natural that you felt like you were that character's personal friend. The theater size was perfect...every seat was a good seat. Each one of those women did an AMAZING job and I'm super happy that I was able to see the outstanding "Whoopi Monologues". Btw, I left my home Saturday morning at 4 a.m., traveled almost 400 miles to go to the 8pm show Saturday night, then I left Sunday afternoon to travel those same 400 miles back home. Given the opportunity, I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!! "

Loved it!
" I am 68 y/o and I remember when she initially performed her monologue. The performance brought back memories of her first performance and I was as drawn in this time as I was in the beginning. The actresses were fantastic. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of them and the 90 minutes flew by. I love the way the audience was drawn and and the stories were still relevant. I loved it."

Whoopi Twice: Why I’m Going Back for More
"I love anything Whoopi! ❤️ I even went to The View, and although my seat was horrible, I could see Whoopi, so all was good! 😂 What I didn’t do before seeing The Whoopi Monologues was pause and watch Whoopi’s original performance from years ago. I watched it when I got home, and WOW—what a difference it made! My advice: watch Whoopi’s original performance before going to see this show. If you’re like me and all you needed to hear was “Whoopi” to be all in, you may not realize exactly what you’re about to see. Now that I understand the characters and what Whoopi originally created, I’ve decided to go see it again! And believe it or not, I’m more excited about seeing it the second time than I was the first. The performances were excellent, and another bonus: there really are no bad seats in this theater. It’s small, intimate, and a wonderful space to see a show. Second time around, I’m ready! 🎭❤️"

Whoopi Monologues, The Best Laugh Filled Show
"The Mitzi Neuman theatre is a small intimate theatre where one is so close to the stage one feels a part of the show. In fact the actors all interact with the audience! All of the actors took their characters to heart, adlibbing, delivering lines that make you laugh til you cry and cry til you laugh! Whoopi Goldberg is a great comedian and a great comedic writer. The monologues will long be remembered as both extremely hilarious as well as quite poignant! Go see this, you will long recall just how hard you laughed!"

Men go learn something
"It was a peak in to the life of what black women go through. You will learn something in a very unique way. Lirlean was a surprise as that was my wife’s mother’s name who passed away when she was 9 years old. She has never known anyone else named Lirlean. "

What a Tribute to the Past and the Present!
"This show was fantastic! That Whoopie Goldberg wrote these monologues 40+ years ago and they were still so incredibly relevant today was a tribute to her and her genius. The actors who put their own imprimatur on each monologue brought a new presence to the stage. It was glorious!"

Incredible
"The actors were funny, engaging and in parts played off the response from the audience. Beautifully done and the last monologue had me full on ugly crying! Incredible and still very relevant after all these years. The ladies were beautiful and I can’t say enough about how enjoyable it was to watch. Travelled from San Diego to NYC with the weekend centered around seeing this show. It did not disappoint! "

Funny and thought provoking
"This particular venue was great as well, small and intimate. No bad seat choices! Live audience feedback at a play is rare but it works here; with funny results. The actors so good at what they’re doing didn’t miss a beat, Not all of it was funny though which is why I wouldn’t recommend children. Definitely mature subject matter for grown folks. "

About The Whoopi Monologues

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.
