Whoopi Goldberg on Tour
For all her achievements in theater, movies and television, Whoopi Goldberg has never lost her reverence for the connections she forges with audiences at her reliably outrageous stand-up performances.
Her appearance in November, 2019 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City marked another milestone for a performer who first came to wider attention with Whoopi Goldberg, the one-woman stage show she brought to Broadway with the help of director Mike Nichols in 1984. The acclaim for her skills drew the notice of Steven Spielberg, who cast her in the lead role of The Color Purple. Goldberg's Academy Award nomination led to her successful run in a huge variety of dramas and comedies, including such smash hits as Ghost in 1990 and Sister Act two years later.
Her forays into television include her Emmy-winning run as executive producer and resident "center square" personality on her revival of the game show Hollywood Squares. Never afraid to share her views, Goldberg continues to elicit laughs and provoke thoughts as the moderator of ABC's The View.
In March of 2019, she appeared at New York's Beacon Theatre as cohost for Love Rocks NYC, the star-studded annual benefit for the nonprofit organization God's Love We Deliver.
Whoopi Goldberg Background
Born and raised in New York, Whoopi Goldberg caught the performing bug at an early age. Her first audiences were the relatives who gave Goldberg her distinctive nickname, comparing the aspiring comedian to a whoopee cushion.
Her years studying comedy and theater in California and New York led to the development of the characters who filled her first stage hit, which was named The Spook Show before she and director Mike Nichols brought it to Broadway as Whoopi Goldberg in 1984. In 1985, she earned an Academy Award nomination for her first major screen role, in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple. That launched a movie career that has included such beloved films as Ghost, Sister Act and The Lion King.
Among her television credits are her groundbreaking talk show The Whoopi Goldberg Show and the Emmy-nominated NBC sitcom Whoopi. Her Emmy-winning revival of Hollywood Squares ran from 1998 to 2004. In 2007, she joined Barbara Walters on ABC's The View as the show's new moderator.
One of America's most decorated performers, Goldberg is among the few to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Her other honors include two Golden Globes, a Drama Desk Award, two American Comedy Awards, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Yes, she was here! Very funny with many "common man" moments (you know you were thinking it - Whoppi says it for you), about todays current events. She added in some MN directed humor and handled the crowd well. She made my New Year!
She was amazing!! We laughed and celebrated the New Year in style. I'd definately see her again.
Whoopi Goldberg recently performed at the Tropicana. The show was fantastic. Vintage Whoopi. Her observations on life, politics and everything in between were right on the money. Her idea about health care--getting the same type of coverage that our senators have- brought a rousing round of applause. She says exactly what she means and means exactly what she says! It was a very enjoyable evening full of laughter. We would highly recommend her show to anyone who ever has the opportunity to see her. Thanks Whoopi!
She was just as funny as I thought she would be. She is very down to earth and tells it like it is. Very entertaining.
I enjoyed the show, can not wait until next year. What I did not enjoy were our seats.
First, the 6 of us love the work this women does. We felt she recycled material and she didn't have her heart in her work. Overall we sat in the first 3 rows and having eye contact did have its rewards. I would have rather have paid the money and just sat down and talked to her. I think she was bored.
Show was Absolutely Outstanding!! This lady is the BOMB! We laughed till it hurt,will Defiantly go back if she returns. She is one Smart, Sassy PURE LADY! Whoopi if they let you read these, THANK YOU! You are the Best
I am a longtime fan of Ms. Goldberg -- since her one woman show in 1984. She's the best thing that has ever happened to "The View." Her show was topical (practically up to the moment) and refreshingly honest. I found myself nodding along with her accessments about how people and the world are faring these days. Funny woman!!!!!
We laughed until we almost cried. We had a wonderful nigh of Whoopi and would definitely do it again!!!!
I would see her again. I thought she did the right thing when the guy had health issue. She asked for the time, she only had 15 minutes left for her show. She was concern for him and she stopped her show. She let the medical staff do their thing. If I was the guy I would be appreciate her for stopping the show,
