Overview
- The Whoopi Monologues officially opened at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater on Monday, July 13, and the production is scheduled to run through August 30.
- Whoopi Goldberg, 70, and her daughter Alexandrea “Alex” Martin Dean, who is in her early 50s, made a seldom‑seen joint appearance on the opening‑night red carpet that drew broad media attention.
- The revival reimagines Goldberg’s 1984 one‑woman show with a high‑profile ensemble that the production named in its press release, including Dominique Fishback, Kecia Lewis, Danielle Pinnock, Kerry Washington, and Kara Young.
- Alex Martin’s public profile and film credits were noted in coverage, and she has publicly rejected ‘nepo baby’ claims by saying she auditioned for roles such as her part in Sister Act 2.
- Reporters also referenced Goldberg’s recent weight‑loss transformation and her past comments that she used the GLP‑1 medication Mounjaro after a back injury, a detail that shaped interest in her opening‑night appearance.
