Whoopi Goldberg: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg, born Caryn Elaine Johnson, is an American performer whose work moves between stand-up, theatre, film, and television. A recipient of the EGOT, her screen roles and broadcast presence have made her a durable cultural reference point, alongside honors including a BAFTA, Golden Globes, and the Mark Twain Prize. In New York City, she appears at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater with *The Whoopi Monologues*, drawing on a storyteller’s rhythm and a comic’s timing. Her performances favor clarity over spectacle.
