wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1984, then unknown monologist <strong>Whoopi Goldberg<\/strong>\u00a0premiered 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\u2014 reimagined for a new generation. <strong>Dominique Fishback, Kecia Lewis, Danielle Pinnock, Kerry Washington<\/strong>, and <strong>Kara Young<\/strong> come together to bring Goldberg\u2019s unforgettable characters back to the stage, in this new production directed by Tony\u00ae Award nominee <strong>Whitney White<\/strong>. Funny, vivid, and deeply human, these nuanced portraits feel as fresh and irresistible today as they were over 40 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p
