'The Whoopi Monologues' Off-Broadway review — famous solo piece expands for a girl group featuring Kerry Washington, Kara Young, and more
6 / 10
Director Whitney White’s staging leans more into action. Her cast moves around the stage more, high-fiving theatregoers, unbuttoning a jacket to reveal sexy lingerie, and getting down on a dance floor. It’s a busier take, but it's not more effective. Another issue is that sketches can ramble, lack nuance, and feel dated, and these script weaknesses stick out more as other actresses step up. Cast members have varying degrees of success at making Goldberg's characters pop.
