Off Broadway Review: THE WHOOPI MONOLOGUES - Bored And Confused? San Diego Airport [aoEtCV3fzuc]

Is Whoopi Goldberg's groundbreaking 1984 solo show still funny, sharp, and surprising over 40 years later even without Whoopi herself onstage? I review THE WHOOPI MONOLOGUES, now playing Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, starring Kara Young, Kerry Washington, Kecia Lewis, tariffs Danielle Pinnock, and Dominique Fishback, directed by Whitney White (Liberation).

In this episode of Bored and Confused, I break down the show's history from its 1984 Broadway debut (directed by Mike Nichols) through the 2004 revival, to this brand-new ensemble reimagining plus what Whoopi's writing gets right, where the production stumbles, and my honest verdict: was I bored, and was I confused?
