In a move that has both theatergoers and daytime TV fans buzzing, The View’s iconic hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are stepping off the soundstage and onto the theatrical platform for a one-day-only matinee performance that’s already becoming one of the most talked-about events this spring. On Wednesday, April 30 at 2 p.m., the duo will perform side-by-side in My First Ex-Husband, Behar’s sharply funny and brutally honest off-Broadway production about love gone wrong—and the resilience that follows.

MY FIRST EX-HUSBAND • NOW IN PERFORMANCES

The 85-minute show, directed by acclaimed theater veteran Randal Myler, is already known for its rotating monthly cast and deeply relatable, laugh-out-loud stories told by women who’ve lived through the highs and heartbreaks of marriage and divorce. But this April, the show will reach a new level of electricity when two household names bring it to life—live, unfiltered, and completely in sync.

My First Ex-Husband is far more than a collection of stories about divorce. It’s a theatrical journey through the emotional, hilarious, and often absurd realities of relationships. Whether it’s being married to the wrong man, your job, your religion, or even your bank account, the women in the show paint vivid portraits of strength, loss, and moving on with grace—and sometimes a cocktail or two.

For Joy Behar, the performance marks a deeply personal moment—bringing her creation to the stage alongside a friend and colleague who’s shared a decades-long history of laughter, debate, and chemistry on screen. For Whoopi Goldberg, it’s yet another arena conquered in her already storied career as an actor, comedian, and cultural icon.

What makes this performance truly special is the real-life friendship and comedic firepower that Goldberg and Behar bring with them. Their dynamic on The View is legendary, and now that same spark is being unleashed in front of a live theater audience. The show promises to blend poignant truths with biting humor, creating a one-of-a-kind afternoon of storytelling.

If you’ve ever survived a messy relationship, questioned your past, or had to laugh through the tears, this show was made for you. And this performance, with Whoopi and Joy at the helm, might just be the most unforgettable matinee of the season.
