Daytime television icons Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are bringing their off-screen chemistry to the theater world in a once-in-a-lifetime matinee performance of Behar’s off-Broadway comedy, My First Ex-Husband. On Wednesday, April 30 at 2 p.m., audiences at New York City’s MMAC Theater will witness a rare and intimate moment as the two powerhouse cohosts of The View share the stage—not as political commentators or talk show hosts, but as performers telling raw, hilarious, and heartbreakingly relatable stories.

Directed by Randal Myler, My First Ex-Husband is an 85-minute theatrical event that gives voice to women who’ve faced love, loss, and liberation after walking away from the wrong partner—or the wrong life. The show has earned acclaim for its monthly rotating cast and candid, comedic tone. Now, it’s about to hit a whole new gear with Goldberg and Behar stepping into the spotlight together.

The play explores the many ways women find themselves “married”—whether to a man, a career, religion, or even their finances—and how they summon the strength to break free. It’s a moving and often riotously funny tribute to the resilience of women who have been through the emotional rollercoaster of commitment and come out wiser (and often wittier) on the other side.

This performance is especially meaningful because it brings Behar’s writing to life in a deeply personal way—by performing it herself, alongside one of her closest collaborators and friends. Goldberg, with her storied career in film, comedy, and theater, adds a layer of theatrical gravitas that promises to make this one-afternoon-only show something truly unforgettable.

Together, Whoopi and Joy will draw from decades of shared experience, both as performers and as women who’ve weathered life’s storms. Their unmatched timing, honesty, and mutual affection promise to turn this special performance into a heartfelt and hilarious celebration of female friendship, reinvention, and moving forward.
