Whoopi Goldberg: Back to Broadway (2005)

Twenty years after her original one woman show was filmed on Broadway, Whoopi returns with some familiar and some new characters added to her repertoire. Though I’ve only seen a tiny piece of the original show, I have not yet watched it in full. This collection is a bit more contemporary (including jokes about Spongebob Squarepants) and political (multiple mentions of George Bush and September 11th). I think my favorite chapter in this set was Lurleen, the Southern belle going through menopause. The jokes were funny but also felt personal with the line between Whoopi and the character she was playing somewhat blurred.
